This game with co-op/multiplayer would be a better monopoly without the dice

[Plague Doctor]

If They find out how to add co-op/multiplayer to this game by 1.0 this could be an extremely trend setting game. This with friends would be like playing monopoly without the dice. Everyone starts with enough money to build a small shop and race to see who can get a million in the bank or something. Add property bidding on buys and rent offers (offer to pay more rent for a building and try to force out the owner) so that people can sabotage each others deals and add yet another layer to the race to the top.

If they say they're not interested in it (so many streamers would play this with friends sabotaging each others businesses), i pray someone mods it in, would go so hard for a game like this.

They aren't doing MP in BA as we know. Possibly after the expansions are done they'll do BA 2 and include MP from the start. Only time will tell.

This game doesn't really lend itself to multiplayer, anyway - I know I spend so much time with the game paused fiddling with stuff, it would be excruciating sitting around waiting on other players all the time.

What *would* be interesting is if you could set an option to allow the AI rivals to hire "consultants" - which would actually be another human player. It would essentially allow the second player to download a partial game state for a specific business, and spend up to an in-game week optimizing it, at which point it would run the sim forward a week to validate that it's an improvement (to avoid griefing/sabotage).

Then in the original players game, it would re-play those changes to the rival business over the next week (to avoid them "cheating" by getting instant deliveries and new hires).

Sort of an asynchronous multiplayer.
