further down the road though. But for now, I just don't see it.

I personally don't care about MP in 4Xs at all. Maybe if it was coop with other players against significantly stronger AIs. I've always loved coop gamemodes.

Status: offline 		Thats what i am talkin about. Multi would take this game to the next level. Playin against the AI by yorself is like kissin yor sister, just cant get into that. ill wait for the multi version.

Are you serious? Single player is no where near that bad lolol.
Either your family is really open minded or you really hate single player haha :P

No offence, but that analogy is absolute garbage. Many of the worlds best games are SP only.
Anyways, we'll probably have to wait for DW2 for possible MP.

Status: offline 		Most of our games have multiplayer support, though most are head to head (2 players) but a few support more.

Distant Worlds is very unlikely to be able to support multiplayer in its current iteration. Our focus remains on a single player experience and changing the game to support (and be balanced for) multiplayer would be an extremely large job. In our experience, about 10-20% of players play multiplayer so while there is some benefit, it's rarely something that we "back-fit" to a game after release, it generally has to be part of the original design.

Regards,

- Erik
