Multiplayer?

[luckz]

Will you be adding a multiplayer mode to Empires of the Undergrowth?

We would love to but we want to focus on having a solid single player experience first. We are not counting multiplayer out but we are not promising it either.

I believe multiplayer would add to the replay value. Especially if it was 3v3 or allow more then 1v1 although any multiplayer would be better then none. But at this early stage I can understand why your focusing on the base game. I really want to say thank you for making an ant game that is worthy of my time. It is brilliantly done!

Obviously it would, but we're all stoked to see what they do with single player as well.

Right now with only 3 species and the massively overpowered rufa shooters multiplayer wouldn't be very engaging.
The game needs a bit more economical and strategic complexity before multiplayer will be fun.

agree'd but I would love to see a muliplayer version of this. would make playing this after you have finished the single player part more enjoyable. again Dev's love the game. I have looked forward to playing this ever since I watch BaronVonLetsplays play it back over a year a go and have to say you guys have delivered in a great way. I look forward to seeing what you guys have in store in future updates.

Put out a big flashing announcment if you do. I love games like this, but playing against AI gets super old quickly.

Personally I prefer in many games playing agains the AI than getting my ass handed to me by some cocky 12-year-old who basically plays games 24/7...

I think most people would want to play a game like this with friends, not with public matchmade "ranked" opponents. Not all RTS have to be like Starcraft.
Two humans against some AIs is pretty popular, for example.

As per the FAQ, we don't currently plan to add multiplayer. We might review these post-release but certainly version 1.0 of the game won't feature multiplayer.

Aw man its a damn shame that MP most likely isnt going to happen as of now... I finished the Single player and i would be absolutly stocked to play coop with some of my friends or other people even if its only vs AI in a free mode or free for all.
