I was so excited to hear about the upcoming multiplayer fixes in the new Firaxis video. The "click-fest" that wars between players became (and there were so many clicks and so many wars), drove off most of my friends from multiplayer. The hybrid system was exactly what I wanted (and, I believe, was suggested by me and Eagle Pursuit in a "what changes would you like" thread). The fully turn-based multiplayer will also make some of my friends very happy.

So glad to hear Firaxis is dedicating a team to really getting multiplayer fuctional and fun. I can't wait to hear more. Anyone else excited?
 
Yeah, that got me excited too. I don't play multiplayer Civ (of any iteration) very often but it would be nice for the MP crowd to have something playable.
 
They already allow us to denounce one another in MP
 
Spoiler :
Multiplayer

- Firaxis was able to have a full team work on the BNW multiplayer to fix bugs and create new modes
- New Observer mode
- Sequential Turn Mode
- Hybrid Turn Mode; Sequential turns until combat occurs then switches to normal turn based turns
- Pitboss will be included in BNW


Even as someone who has barely played any MP, all of this sounds awesome! Observer mode especially.

For Hybrid mode I assume the building is done simultaneously and the combat is done turn-by-turn. Bonus if it lets civs that haven't met each other move simultaneously in the combat phase.
 
Maybe I'm reading between the lines, but I'm hoping for even more MP goodness. The fact that they have "a whole team for BNW" and yet all of the *listed* fixes are going to be patched into all versions says something...
 
The multiplayer team for BNW just means its part of BNW's budget and development staff. Any multiplayer improvements will be put in vanilla and G&K to encourage people to get BNW. It also avoids outrage about forcing people to pay for upgrades which should be patched.
 
Ok I looking over the new news articles can someone point me in the direction of the one giving the details on multiplayer? Its great to hear multi is getting lots of love. :)
 
Wow I missed that too derp and thank you. Yes mods in multiplayer and Civ 5 will be in damn good shape.
