Default Re: I\'d rather have MM work on AI as opposed to TCP/IP

Lets put it another way, people who use Email
spend much more time to finish games..almost rediculous to set up a game and play it for a year (patchs themselves will goof up games with so much time spent)

With tcp..hardcore..and i mean hardcore wargamers.in smaller Groups could actually play and save. There are ways of allowing people to look around while others do their turn and do it right. AOE had some workablity in that area. resonable games..
mid level galaxy 60-70 systems or so..we all know huge 200+ would be rediculous. even solo i dont do anything that big..100 systms is huge in my opinion. The point being, people would play each other and can get back to one another. Wont take long to pick out the losers who dont come back and finish what they started. Keeping games at 4 or so players is workable..and reasonable..finish working on the AI, im not against that. What does bother me is if they dont make a
good "Stable" tcp ip connections..turn based game work great in TCP IP, just needs a little time and effort and most will be satisfied.


sorry but playing a AI is meaningless long term, they are just "extras" to move aside ...variables in the mix..in between Humans.

An AI doesnt care if it wins or loses.
