MP games need simpler core mechanics and fewer turns to complete than SP games IMO. Dom is of course fiendishly complex but the core movement system is simple, there are no alliance rules, and economic admin is straightforward. until mass forging comes along.

I am unsure what I want in MOM2. I would be happy with the same game pretty much revamped to 2005 standards. Or a MP game that had the feel of the original. But a bastard offspring that did both poorly would be very sad.


In reply to Arryn. Obviously we have different opinions as I cannot be bothered with dom SP - I sandbox a bit to test but that's it. The other games must be truly dire (I tried AoW and it was)
