Re: SP and MP Poll
 

I play mostly SP, because I suck so badly against every other player. I like uniformal things so my armies are running back and forth of betveen forts and frontline to recruit that three or four soldiers that were killed by some accidental friendly fire.

Maybe my habits make me bad MP player...

Re: SP and MP Poll
 

I usually play MP hotseat games sometimes with AI included. As far as something else to do while waiting well I recommend playing other great TBS games at the same time on other computers. TBS games such as Heroes_3 Complete, AgeofWonders_2:ShadowMagic, and Dominions_3. I've rotated between as many as four different computers.

Also Space Empires IV and Stars! For some they would consider GalCiv2 also

Re: SP and MP Poll
 

Started with SP of course, now doing more MP and just SP for fun and testing.

Re: SP and MP Poll
 

I only play SP.

I tried MP twice and I was eliminated first out of everyone both times by strategies "I" felt (that's me personally, so I'm not trying to rain on anyone's parade) were cheap. It left a bad taste in my mouth, and so I don't do MP anymore.

Which is too bad, because I'm sure if I got into a game without triple bless strategies and made it past turn ten I'd likely have a good time.

Try some newbie(ish) games or possibly the next mod nation game. They don't seem to be about uber rushing.

Re: SP and MP Poll
 

Ahh. GalCiv2. What an awesome game. Too bad it is only SP. Still, I play it almost exclusively when I'm not playing Dom3.

Re: SP and MP Poll
 

Yeah, it sounds like you were very unlucky there. I've played probably around ten games now, and never been the victim of a rush once. It's a pity you had that experience, cos I can well imagine that would be no fun at all.

Re: SP and MP Poll
 

I voted for SP only. I still feel lost in Dominions3, there's so much to explore. I like to take my time, so for now, MP is out of question. I really like to play MP games, but I'm not ready for Dominions yet.

Also, in this game, MP seems to be all about using cookie-cutter strategies. I like to try something new each time.

Re: SP and MP Poll
 

B0rsuk, one may argue that it is about cookie cutter strategies, but first
there are at least a hundred of them, and second, no plan survives contact
with the enemy :-)

I know that for each nation I play, I have at least three strategies. (One
exception, LA Man, I wonder why I still play them, they are unflexible)
