Multiplayer hopefully?

[Archer]

with such a good game?

[PT]

Heya -- I appreciate the kind words and I hate to say no to anything but we decided from the outset not to support multiplayer. The multiplayer in games like Tropico 5 adds very little to the game and is almost never used, and developing MP features are unbelievably expensive in terms of production costs, which is time and money better spent on other parts of the game.

In our experience, multiplayer tends to make a lot more sense with competitive RTS games like StarCraft and Planetary Annihilation than city-builders like Aven Colony.

Best answer ever for the muti-player question. Well done PaulT

[o0neill]

thanks for NOT including MP.

[Archer]

A bit of coop would be good though, i played tropico with friends, and its so much fun

[Archer]

and have look at the guild series, multiplayer really made ppl enjoy

[o0neill]

yes some ppl maybe a lot of ppl enjoy pvp or pve but im one of these ppl who does not need competition in a game.

[Druces]

thanks for NOT including MP.²

[neovik]

i mostly only play coop MP games like Factorio
so very sad to hear that there is no MP

[GimbleFIN]

Looks promising, but for me too it's a skip due to lack of multi :( I totally understand some are fine with having single only but that's not me. Having a quality PvP multi is a requirement for some people, some prefer co-op.

I want to say that I have been actually following Aven Colony for months now. As a friend and I play Tropico 5 just about 3 nights a week together. I was looking forward to a new city builder that we could play. It's really sad that I will have to skip Aven Colony and wait for Tropico 6 next year. Sci-fi seemed so cool too.

Please rethink at least as minimal coop MP

[FlashXAron ☕ (Alex)]

Also would prefer Co-Op as most of the time I play with my brother and sometimes also with 1-2 friends ... so we are looking for Co-Op 1-3 player games ...
love to compare statistics and help each other, but sometimes also secret hinder the development of each other , but never in a direct conflict (Stellaris, Civ Series, HOI , Endless Series, Tropico, Anno (sad last one also didn't had MP) ... etc.)

So for us we will pass , but maybe I will try it, when it will be on sale ...

Anyway wish you luck, success and the best for the release !

Multiplayer would be no nice. We only like city-builder games like prison architect, anno, etc. in multiplayer - often coop, sometimes playing vs.

Hallo einer Seits ja Multiplayer Kostet viel Zeit und Geld aber es macht um so mehr Spaß mit anderen Spielern auf einem Server zu Spielen als alleine zu Hause. Es ist Out Singelspiele man Spielt Koop und Multiplayer wie Anno. Wer kennt nicht Cattle & Crops nicht die sind Pleite weil es kein Multiplayer gab. Gibt Euch ein Ruck
