Your Opinion: Interesting in Multiplayer

[Sultan Bhargash]

If you are like me, you can't stop thinking about that multiplayer and counting the hours till it comes out. I have recently been thinking about what things will be interesting to see how they work in multiplayer:

e.g.: Privateers: maybe the AI can be fooled but I wonder what privateer action will be like in MP. You might see where the Privateer came from, or be able to guess based on geography.
At the same time, I think more people will make more privateers in these games because it will be just too fun to engage your friends in combat without declaring war (notice I didn't say sink their ships because privateers just can't do that!)

First Embassy: the first player to make an embassy gets the free peep at the enemy capital. I often delay embassy building till I have a big budget surplus against the AI but I think I will probably be hurrying this up in MP.

What else do y'all think will be fascinating to see how it plays out in MP???

I think subs will be much more deadly in MP. Prowl around and waiting for the other human player carelessly sit a transport under light escort. I can almost hear the screams now.

I'm very interested to see how the turnless mode really works. If I understand correctly (and I could very well be wrong) players "turns" will be happening simultaneously. I just don't see how I could "attack" a unit that another player may be "moving" when we moving our units at the same time.

I also can't wait but privateers probably won't matter much since they are very weak and can't mover very far without Magellans. Subs on the other hand, and with every other stealth unit, will be very interesting to see what happens.
