I understand what you are trying to get at, but its not true.
Playing in MP forces everyone to be efficient, not uniform. The CBM mod (the most popular MP mod by far) is a brilliant example of this - it doesnt force players into specific units or tactics but tries to make every unit in the game viable. MP games force players to constantly innovate against each others strategies and as a result there is a constant churn of new units and spells as players try to exploit them in new ways to outwit thier enemies. |
In fact, this is the #1 similarity, arising from a difference, in SP and MP. That is, in SP you will try and do many different things simply because at a certain threshold, they all work against the AI. In MP you will try and do many different things because if you stick to 1 trick, you will tend to lose.
I dunno what you're talking about. <3
