Multiplayer!

[Noob]

Hello to all the players of this wonderful game!
As you know, C:S does NOT have a official multiplayer, and the Tango project is being developed very slowly. There are many supporters and opponents of the multiplayer in this game, and therefore I would like to KNOW YOUR OPINION. Would you like to see multiplayer as a mod from the workshop, for example, to build a city with a friend or friends?
If there are supporters, then I will try my hand at developing...

the devs said no, I share that view.

I can totally understand the devs for not going this direction, as it is quite difficult to pull off, and EA has demonstrated how it can fail spectacularly. I would however like to see a mod in the workshop that brings some kind of local multiplayer into the game and would be keen on trying it with my friends.

No.

What exactly would a multiplayer game be?
Land grab to see who can get the most before the other player?
I've heard something about trading with another city. There is no mechanism in the game to direct trucks to go to specific businesses. Can't do it in multiplayer either.
Cooperative building of the same city? I can see it now, pausing the game to build a new interchange in the middle of the city and the other player twiddling his thumbs waiting.

I see no pros, but lots of cons.

I would say yes, I'm playing this game as a detailer and I would really like it if I could do it with my friends

There are different options. I am planning a cooperative mode, rather than multiplayer.

A cooperative mode, or a "Succession Game" as the players called it, was tried shortly after the game was released. Basically each participant had assigned duties to perform in a specific tile of the city and they passed around a save game when they finished them. Ultimately it failed as players were not able participate in a timely manner. You can read about it on the Paradox forum:

For me a MP mode would already be enough building a city together or 2 cities on the same map, would be great if this somehow is possible via Modding

And the same discussion again. I'am sure it will not be the last time.

There is going to be a Cities skylines multiplayer soon.. although not on your computer.

If you want an MP city builder, check out anno 2070

Ive always been of the opinion, "play the type of game you want". Meaning, if CS is not MP, go play a MP game. CS is not designed for MP and never will be, its designed as a sandox city builder of our current time, (no past no future).

@Akeela
Making some early game concepts available for play and feedback does not mean the game will be developed and released. A board game, even on the computer, will not satisfy city builders or city painters. I imagine a board game of C:S will be more like Monopoly than C:S.

I don't see the Grand Stategy board games taking off either. They are already board games. Maybe they would be simplified enough to capture the new player and get them interested in the current games.

More likely, the Board Gaming branch will have to be new games totally with very little overlap between the two branches.

Thank you all for your opinion!
