Multi-player option/coop-mode

[Steffie_Stefan]

I really like the game and considering it's a solo project, it's doing very well so far. But I think that the next step is to integrate a mode that allows two players to play together online. One player acts as the host and the other player as the client - a direct connection between two players, so to speak. Just like it was with Command & Conquer more than 20 years ago.

why?, you think dev have time and resources to do that considering there is planty of content waiting to be added and bugs to fix?

IF any form of MP is added it won't be until after early access.

The dev has made it crystal clear that he's not going to work on any form of MP, but that he may revisit that decision when the game has left early access. Until that time he has requested that folks stop asking about/for it (in his FAQ).

The next steps (plural) are to fix a lot of things and, for me, hopefully come up with a better and more detailed game design that is less micro-management and more about strategy.

To play mp all players would need to own the game. So mp is a nil return on investment project.

Taking Civ4 Colonization as an example, the data that the game engine uses is held in editable text files. 3D objects can altered. etc. Civ4Col supports MP but since initial release almost all the interest has been in adding new features to the game and making better map generators.

This game needs multiplayer like a lamprey needs a bicycle.

But the little multiplayer fanbois come asking every couple of days.

And the answer is the same as it has been since this game released into Early Access:

From the Manor Lords Official Wiki/Beginner's Guide FAQ, which I am sure OP never bothered to read --

General Gameplay FAQs
When is multiplayer coming?

Not anytime soon, if at all – please stop asking.

Too bad the MP fanbois cannot respect the developer's wishes. [/quote]
