Sorry. I didn't put bossconian's quote in there correctly on my last post. The first paragraph was a qoute from bossconian's post.

It's true that some players cheating using so called "fast moves" but it's not a fault of simultaneous turns idea but its implementation (read a developer which ignores it and doesn't release a patch ). Can you explain what a "fast move" is? And what do you mean when you say that the...

hey Canucksoldier et al. I posted a new thread titled "One unit per hex & other gameplay issues." Please visit it and post your comments when you have a minute. Thanks.

I am still unclear on the one unit per hex rule: Is it that you can only have one unit total in each hex, or one unit type? For example, can i have 20 archers in one hex, or not? Everything online is very confusing on this issue. some stuff says one unit per hex, and other stuff says one unit...

CS. On civplayers.com, you mention that there is no cheating. What type of cheating do you mean? How do people cheat in multiplayer? I want to know so that i am not victimized by it.

I agree with canucksoldier. Multiplayer is king. There is no way that single player can compare. CS, do you think that we will be allowed to save, and restart our games in the basic MP functions?

that was a huge help canucksoldier. thank you so much.

So what you're saying, canucksoldier, is that as long as our connection problems are resolved (by having powerful modems plugged into our computers, and high speed internet), the games issues would be limited or eliminated? Right? We plan on playing duels on large maps with 8-10 AI civs...

CanuckSoldier. That was a pretty good explanation, and it clears up a lot of things. I have one final question on this topic: What would you recommend if my only interest was to play one-on-one with my friend? What would be the best format, and how could i limit the problem? Your insight is...

I have a question for CanuckSoldeir directly: what do you honestly think will be the case with this iteration on multiplayer on September 21? Do you think that it will be playable? Or do you think that it will be a dissapointment? And please state a reason for your opinion.

I agree with bossconian on one thing--Civ multiplayer has huge potential if it were to be implemented correctly. I don't understand why it isn't. I played civ for 5 years on single player, and had a lot of fun. I then met a person at work that was a husge civ fan, and he and I began to compete...

What does everyone think about the prospective multiplayer problems? Will it be feasible to enjoy a game on multiplayer, or will the darned thing keep dropping all the time? aAnd what effect will simultaneous moves have on game play? How will someone be able to protect his artillery if the other...

Hey all. Any idea's on when the demo for 5 will be available for download?
