I'm going to be that person. (Coop/multiplayer)

Any plans for a coop update? I'm very aware that coop in strategy games is rare as **** and many people don't see the point, but strategy games in coop are such a good way to chill. We would definitely be up for playing this remaster together.

They probably have bugs and other missing features to focus on first.

I hate to be 'that guy' too but it's gonna take some real mental gymnastics to even think of a gamemode that would involve coop in a game like this..It's literally a remake of a 1999 game that never had multiplayer in the first place and was entirely centered around 1 person controlling a city. What would they do, have your coop partner get half of your budget and build on the same map as you, getting in each others' way constantly as you drag your housing areas?

well this future worked very good on anno, at least playing with friends. but i agree, there is no need of coop or multiplayer.

But this isn't ANNO and ANNO played on islands.

lol, it doesn't really need to be deep. Rather, multiplayer just involves sharing the budget and management, similar to how Parkitect works if you have played that.

Probably the only way this could be imagined would be through mods, and then villages trading with each other on the map ............ It would need network layer support...

MAYBE pvp invasions where 1 invading player controls the invaders rather than the AI....

That would be the extent of multiplayer....

Lighter and easy implementations might be things like scoreboards/score rush/score attack or whatever... But cheating always wrecks those

Just my thoughts.
