None of this should be necessary just to implement a "multiplay" game. Amazing & disappointing.
Every game I've played that has a multi-player component has suffered issues at some point or another - Whether it's a player being unable to log in or patches causing major issues that need re-patched or the server going down for a bit.
But I haven't even tried to use multi-player on EWOM yet. I've played 3 AI multi-player games and two of them crashed out and the other had a bugged AI that I stomped flat. Once the engine, AI, and UI are all taken care of, I assume that multi-player will be handled.
Honestly, with the ranking system and such in place, I'd be afraid to do multiplayer until it's all settled. I'd hate to be on a good in-game streak and have it crash out on me. Also, I saw your (Eddie) post a while back about them focusing on AI before multiplayer - Multiplayer will require people familiar with servers and networking and such, which means it'll use completely different people from the company. So AI can't really replace multiplayer development, so I'm assuming they're just working on the stability and balancing before multiplayer. AI is done a little each patch just like a lot of other tweaks.
Sorry if I'm rambling - Tired and going to bed.
Look, all this rhetoric on what is wrong with the multiplay feature is getting old. I bought 2 copies way back when after being sucked in by the advertising & some forum posts. My mistake.there are some very good & very stable & very easy to use TBS programs that have already been developed. One excellent fantasy game ( & with great mods ) is over 8 years old. I am also talking about just simply being able to "lan" the game with friends. Not competing against the world. Oh well...I am still hopeful, because i do think this game could EASILY become a classic.
Gotta gree with Eddie this is really getting sad, and they dont seem to be able to update us to what the long term goals are. About 6 of us bought the game pre release to play multiplayer, and its embarassing to even try.
Its kinda funny a few of us were at best buy this weekend and actually saw a copy of EWOM on the shelf, we had a little laugh over what the box said the game did. 2 to 16 my....
Considering how it was implemented, I agree. Not doing it at all would have let people who expected half decent MP support when it was offered avoid buying the game.
