First of all, sorry if this has been discussed already.
Multiplayer in CiV has a lot of issues. At some point they luckily integrated the hybrid mode, which solved the problem of CiV MP being a real time strategy game. Which was complete ****. Yet most people still play it that way. :-/ And if I want to host a hybrid game, it never starts, because people are able to join the lobby, even though they don't meet the hosts content requirements and I have to kick people for at least 30 minutes. In my opinion it's quite an audacity that this has never been corrected. Add a few more minor things and the usability of session management is a complete DISASTER.
So I was wondering if Firaxis already stated somewhere if they plan to improve the multiplayer experience. I'm mainly talking about usability here. Because I'm probably not going to buy the game if it's managed the same way as in CiV. Thanks for any info.
