What do you mostly play?

[Jasond]

I usually play offline, Directip for multiplayer.

 

[doktarZues]

Civ is the ONLY game I've played since I was 8 years old on the original nintendo that can thoroughly entertain me single player. But I am a competitive sort, and I will be slapping people around on multiplayer sooner than later. For now I'm still learning and practicing on single -dok

 

[Jasond]

Yup, yup. I've only played about 5 Directip Multi games, I got my self handed to me bigtime.

 

[Zanmato]

Not really looked into online play. I don't have much time anyway.

 

[wiseguy101]

I'd probably get killed so fast if I played multiplayer, so I tend to stick to games that I have a chance of winning

 

[ComradeDavo]

Single player mostly, though I am taking part in the Off Topic multi-player game and i'll probably try and play some multiplayer games more in the future!

 

[YNCS]

The closest I've ever got to multi-player was participating in one of the Civ3 Demogames. It's single-player all the time for me.

 

[Danicela]

The question is not very well set :

I play Multiplayer but Hot Seat (so not online) => And what if LAN ? This is not online too but multiplayer.

 

[The 777 Hoax]

I tried multiplayer once and got my butt whipped. I was out of the game in like a half hour. Pretty bad.

 

[SoxSexSax]

Both.

You'll never be a civ master unless you frequently play against real people. The AI can't come close to what can happen online.

 

[GiantRaven]

Single Player, wouldn't be ver good at MP and it didn't work for me anyways

 

[mutax2003]

I used to play single player on monarch and emperor levels, but for the last couple of months, I have been playing MP online exclusively. It is just more fun competing with other people.

 

[Zombie69]

I like taking my time to play, up to 15 minutes or more for a single turn, so singleplayer it is for me.

 

[drkodos]

Both.

Playing against real human being is a blast and really shows how weak the AI is.

There are 100% different strategies & tactics needed in the two.

 

[SuperBeaverInc.]

I only play Single Player. I prefer it to multiplayer.

 

[Codeman]

my skill level is not yet high enough to give someone a challenge on multiplayer.

...but that seems to be a general feeling. those of us who have the lower skill levels should try playing against each other. this could help us raise our skill. and then again maybe a succession game with others on a lower level would be helpful, so we can play together until we feel comfortable enough with our skills to play against each other...

 

[MrCynical]

Mostly single player, since few people seem to want to play a full laid back game of Civ 4 in multiplayer. I have no interest in blazing turn timer games on duel sized maps, which leaves multiplayer a bit limited.

 

[Codeman]

here is an open succession game.

People shouldnt be afraid to play online. you learn very very fast. Sure you may get your asses kicked, but I guarantee you that within 5 games youll be pretty good and able to keep up with others.

I personally cant stand single player. Its just not challenging enough. Upping the difficulty doesnt make the AI smarter, it just gives it cheats. Not fun at all.

 

[lost_civantares]

I would play multiplayer more, but I just play to sporadically, an hour here, two there, and half and hour every once in a while, only once in a while can I play in large enough sections of time that would enable me to play multiplayer.
