Multiplayer impressions

Just started playing multiplayer a few days ago and I must say it has me hooked! I remember playing PG1 online through some kind of website-direct connection kind of setup, but it was very unstable and many a good game was lost. When it worked,however, it was fantastic! This system is far better and way more stable and I love it!

I have only had 1 bug so far and that had to do with the crash at Purchase button (only playing games after the new Beta, so not the other bug. Also uninstalled old version first). A computer reboot fixed it, but it did affect the games going on at that time.

2 things are still needed to make multiplayer perfect I think...

1) Replay option of opponents turn...you can lose track of what's going on without that (read I think that this is coming?)

2) Replay option of opponents chat comments! After playing my turn, I always forget what the conversation was...makes my "trash talk" less effective! (and discussions about the game much harder)

Overall though...love it

Nice to see you on the forums. Both items are very important, and hopefully we should have a nice PBEM update coming shortly.

Option to replay enemy turn is absolutely going to be implemented, and the option to play 'double blind' (as it currently works) is a strong possibility, and your other concern falls under
Post#1 Article#4a on The List. In other words, it's pretty high on our critically important list.
