That's not a fair comparison: it's a lot easier to set an SP game up, therefore most MPers also play a lot SP, while the reverse isn't true. You should include the following line

I play most of the time in multi players 17% (7)

in your stats to get a correct assessment of the MP community.

We need a diplo model like this. Relationship with the AI, pacts etc.

WOW THAT GAME LOOKS AMAZING! Hey, that diplomacy screenshot is cool, I love that relationship bar + the diplomatic options. Er where is the alliance button? There will be no alliance in that game?

I would not say *a lot more*. Check previous polls about the habits of players.

From your poll Pocus:

I always play alone with AI only 44% (18)
I sometime play with a friend 24% (10)
I play most of the time in multi players 17% (7)
I nearly always play MP, and SP is just for testbeds&pratices 15% (6)

I sometime play with my friend means that they are playing single mostly, and sometimes multi, if I am correct.

Anyways if you compare:

I always play alone with AI only 44% (18) >>> I nearly always play MP, and SP is just for testbeds&pratices 15% (6)

And yes, I am a singleplayer 'fan' myself.

if I count right, 32% (rounded to a third) play mostly MP then. So what are the MP fans asking : they are asking for features which serve the SP fans too : diplomacy (works for the AI too), less micromanagement (I suppose you would enjoy this in SP too, nobody like to handle 100 mages with a bad interface), and game balance (same thing here, even if you play with yourself, I suppose you want the game to be balanced).

So no need to oppose MP players versus SP players, we converge toward having a better game.

Sorry, double post.

I dunno about the alliance in KoH. As you can see, there are non-agression, passage agreement, trade options already, and the relationship bar.
This looks awesome so far.

The release date of KoH is 2004 Q2 btw.
