Hotseat?! "Simultaneous Turns" is a lame excuse, Civ 5 made it work.

[WiseCog]

There are still many people who love hotseat, with family mostly. I included.

PS: Don't use Simultaneous Turns as an excuse not to add it. Ever since Civ 5 that has been an option to play with in hotseat for all civ games. And it works WONDERS. So stop with that lame excuse in all your games. If Firaxis can make it work, so can you. Stop being so lazy "AMPLITUDE Studios" and cater to more fans. Not just the online community.

Endless Legend and maybe even Endless Space could have had hotseat. Firaxis have proven that to work with Simultaneous Turns already, many years ago.

This exactly. It's all about family play in 4X games for me. And this is basically a clone.

The only interest for me in a game like this would be to play together with my significant other. We love playing hot seat Civ6, and have played countless hours.

Same. I don't even play multiplayer over internet anymore.

Gotta have more activity on this thread if we want it to be noticed.
As for the simultaneous turns - the first thing coming to mind is to make them optional. The game is turnbased anyway(unlike EU or HoI, which have no turns at all).

Agreed.

I need hotseat play so I can play locally with myself, my cat, and my other cat. One of these days I am going to teach my stuffed cat Dusty (now deceased) how to play 4X games as well. But he's a slow learner. In the meantime, I'll be in the corner of my studio apartment drinking myself to death.

civ 6 sucks man

I totally agree, me and my little sister (with whom I am 20 years different) we play a lot together and since I only have one pc, games with local multi (such as Civilization 6 that she loves) are privileged.
So it would be nice if it was implemented in Humankind.
If not in my eyes, the game may never go beyond Civ 6 no matter how hard it try.

Compris les français, pensez à tout ceux dans notre cas. O___O (merci)

[Weresloth]

It is also a buy-or-not feature for me. We always play HoMM 3 and Civ 5-6 in hotseat as whole family, and Humankind would be useless without that feature.

They should really put this into the game. Many civ fans enjoy hot seat and it's a good way to get new people into the game. I really hope they put a hotseat mode into the game.

[WiseCog]

I truly hope they will make hotseat happen.

[Greevorus]

No hotseat, no buy!

You WILL not be noticed. Do not overestimate your, meaningless users value for the developers who have their own vision of what game they wish to create. No amount of crying "NO COOP NO BUY" will change fundamental concepts behind a work.

A game that tries to compete with a flagship license on PC that will celebrate its 30th anniversary next year, obviously developers must pay attention to the opinions of players if they don't want the release of their games to be a wet firecracker. u_u
A game with the same principle as Civ and offering less options than the competitor, that would be completely stupid.
Particularly when the option to add is not complicated to implement.
