I'm playing wild mana mp and it's working fine for that. I recently finished a game that lasted 600 turns+ on a standard map/normal speed. It was over several days and sessions and we had no more than 1 or 2 OOS. I've played more than 20 mp wild mana games before that, and the general impression is that OOS's are rare, but they do happen. When that is said, the current game I'm playing is a lot more hampered with OOS'es than normal from previous games, so there seems to be some rare condition this time that is causing these. (The first 200 or so turns went by with no incidents) I'll post a savegame right before an OOS next time. Perhaps the reason could be found. Anyway, most games will pass by with very few OOS'es, so no reason not to try wild mana mp.
