Game Breaker! (0.99 Demo)

Jubala · #1 November 21st, 2000, 05:52 AM

Well, I have something that's a gamebreaker for me. It's not possible to save or reload multiplayer turns! I am in a pbem game now with 7 other players and it's extremely annoying not to be able to save and reload your turn. If the turn is loaded after end turn all changes you have made are gone. You have to redo your entire turn.

To me this is an unacceptable situation as I routinely engage in diplomacy by email with other players and not being able to change some detail in my orders needed because of those emails is really beginning to get to me.

Sidenote: I find it annoying that I can only send one ingame message per turn to any given player. I can live it, but it's annoying.

I believe that once you get the full game (you DID specify Demo .99 didn't you?), it allows you to save / load all that stuff. I think the only (major) problems now are with simultaneous turns. A lot of this stuff is discussed in other threads, but don't give up the game 'cause the demo is limited. I myself don't do the multiplayer games yet, so I'm probably not the best source, but check the other threads for more info on this.

Yes, it's the demo I'm talking about but I haven't seen anything to indicate it will be otherwise in the full Version. If someone with the full Version could try this and let me know if it's possible to save mp games I'd apprecite it.

And I know about the sim turnproblems. Like not seeing what happens in battles. Only remote launching of units is available which launches all units. Very annoying with mines as you have to have two ships running around laying mines. One carrying the mines and one laying them.
