Multiplayer IS SUCKS!

from PolMach Forums

I tried to play some multiplayer with a friend today and I can tell you it is BROKEN. The electoral votes are completely inaccurate, and it seems impossible to even finish a game, with the weeks unable to get past a certain point under 10...

I'm wondering if Stardock is working on a fix for this or do they intend to continue selling a dysfunctional game?? The whole reason that I bought a 4-pack is so I could play with my friends. That brings me to another point; if you can't play with 4 people at the same time, WHAT THE HELL IS THE POINT OF BUYING THE 4 PACK?!

 

Thank you. I hope you folks take into account the grief that this causing for undoubtedly many other players, and I think that with this outcry I speak for everybody who appreciates a good strategy game like this one, but is dissatisfied when certain functions are broken.

The patch did do some nice things. However the polls still are strangly inaccurate. Is this something that is inherent in the gameplay? For example I just lost South Carolina to a friend where he has 53/42 in polls, while I was ahead 52/47 in my polls.

In our games up till now it seems that the host has more accurate polling data which makes it easier for him to win.

 

Also, at some turns the week number still counts back on occasion.

PLEASE! Also those unlockables that are hidden in the code, we need more candidates, especially dems, none of them are serious presidential candidates; like Michelle Obama, Peloski and former democratic presidential candidates, like how is there Al Gore and John Kerry, but no McCain.

 

I like this game, have bought 4 so far and will probably get another pack, but there's no way I would buy DLC for it, please do not try to charge for character packs or scenarios
