GC Tournament Mode

from GalCiv2 Forums
I read BW's rational for excluding multiplayer and mostly agreed. But we miss the human comptetion! Adding a tourmanent mode, a la Battlefront's Combat Mission, maybe an idea whose time has gone. This is the way it works in GalCiv:

1- Modder/Stardock creates scenario. Competing players download.
2- The Save option is disabled (in an update) and replaced by Send
3- After a session the player uploads his file to a hosted server. The file can be retrieved at any time.
4- On completion top scores are revealed.

At this point the game is a bit too unstable for true Ironman competition. There are too many crashes and misc bugs that require a save/releoad.

It would be interesting, though, if they found some way to force us to submit our losses... I mean, just about everyone on the metaverse has a perfect record (and I'm as guilty as anyone!)

I know that the reason isn't that we want to lie and say "OMG I M SO GOOD I NVR LOSE LOL!!!1!" but rather, when we are losing, some of us generally quit and restart without submitting... maybe if it kept track of how many Metaverse games we started, and how many we actually won... Loser until proven Winner or something...

Oh, but that'd be evil...
