I wish games like this had a co-op multiplayer aspect

[Dirty Wizard]

So ARPG/FPS morons like me could control a little NPC and complete objectives like fighting and gathering that were assigned by the egghead citybuilder player. No game like that exists that I'm aware of, but I'm sure there's a market for it

ML won't be that thing however. You'll have to wait for another dev / company to have that idea

[Dirty Wizard]

Yeah been waiting for awhile now

A completely different genre, but Natural Selection 2 by Unknown Worlds had a Commander that would set build tasks, resources node tasks, and other mundane activities for the player soldiers.

[Dirty Wizard]

Yeah that would be great except without the round-based gameplay, instead with a persistent world. I think in NS the commander could set objectives for the players and I think he could even upgrade them?

Well then you should whait for Doungeons 4
or you gonna play dongeons 3,
grap your koop buddy, let him build the underground structures and building stuff, while you control the troops he is providing / producing for you and you play the game like a RTS defending the underground and attacking the surface,
both roles are importend

you have to defend the base and claim areas on the surface so the "Citybuilder can expand and use this recources for better troops and upgrades"
"city builder " has to manage the underground place, mining for stuff make everyone happy manage between providing troops and expanding als providing defence for the next incomming attack.

did i mention that you playing a role as a new upcoming superstar named Thalya and serving the ULTIMATE EVIL himself , the ULTIMATE EVIL guide you with hilerios humors alongside the campaign and there will be 100 funny jokes and reference about other games and movies, like lord of the rings, pirates of the carebean , World of warcraft like YAINA OVERPROUD will be one of your first endcounters living in Stormbreeze, after you get your powerlevel over 9000 ^^ and many more.

greetings

Some other companies have been honest: MP development requires skill, resources and money, and the effort to make it viable will not be justified by the additional copies they would sell... some others will not tell you the truth, and will come up with something like: "the game has been designed this way, it would be impossible to add any form of multiplayer".
This is the truth.. and no matter how much we will ask, they will add a feature only if it's profitable... and how to blame em?

Multiplayer is a consideration for further down the line. Right now, Slavic wishes to make a solid and refined single player experience first.
