Hi Guys,

My friends and I all LOVE this game. So much fun, so many hours vanished!

2 Things:

1. Multiplayer needs to be brought in to the 21st century. As I write this my friend and I are the only ones in the world playing a MP game on this Saturday night. So sad that this game is not up to the mp playability of other games on Steam. Please tell me youre going to implement direct connect simultaneous both player seeing current screen at same time. This game is far too good to have this glaring deficiency. I love the game but the PBEM is a woefully outdated mp technology.

2. Thank you for making such a great/fun/addictive game!

Regards,
Todd Copley

Erik, Carth, Brenmusik and myself played a War in the Pacific MP turn yesterday.

Yolo,
Are there plans to update multiplayer. You have to admit that few people are playing it in its current format. Again, I love the game, just please bring multiplayer up to standard!

You are incorrect about not having many people playing. The system doesn't show games in progress, and open games get snatched up almost instantly. An empty challenge list is simply a sign of the success of the system which doesn't require people to negotiate times to play and then block out hours to finish a game . No matter how many times we say it, we can't express how incredibly popular and successful the PBEM++ system has been compared to direct connection.

However, as said, the team are also working on adding a direct option for those players who prefer that mode. So everyone wins!

Cheers

Pip

Each time I received an email saying it was my turn on a Multiplayer game I saved the email. I have over 500 of them in the folder. Lots of people play this game. I have three games going right now but I am slowing down because I'm doing beta testing for Morning Sun and that takes a lot of time.

Plus I'm hooked on Fallout 4. It's much more interesting than my own life

If I could get a direct link to games instead of hitting multi-player, PBEM++, login, then selecting, I would be very happy.

And the link could be provided by the email you get each time it is your turn.
