Co-op or MP?

[Spartacus]

Will there ever be or already is any co-op play or MP? I would LOVE to play this with friends.

Actualy even I play Single Player with neighbor villages. I played this game but doing samething, making somestuff, trade, raiders come, making somestuff, trade, raiders come I dont like loop, probably nobody like.

Maybe I want invading another villages, another villages too invading me. I dont want to be raiders, surviving loop. I want ofansive fight items too. Most of thing realistic but when I came Bronze, Iron age etc. still game want to stay caveman style, dont conquer any city, dont go somewhere for trade, dont make ofansive items etc.

Why?

Multiplayer would be fun. Not sure how co-op would work but having someone to trade with and setup trade routes could be cool. Give my carts and horses something to do besides stand around.

Yeah exactly. If it had at least some interaction like that I'd buy the game. It looks good but I feel like I'd get bored after a while without other human interaction or playing with friends, etc.

I disagree. I think it should almost always be in option in 2019. But like I said an OPTION. Some people can't handle doing things with others so there should be choices. I don't mind it being SP focused to insure a great game experience, but adding MP elements doesn't hurt anything only make a good game, great.

It's a problem when a SP game adds MP and then all the MP people complain "there's no point to multiplayer" because, well, there isn't.

What is the point of having MP for this game? Your buddy has a village on another part of the map. OK. You'll be too far apart to interact. Your people die if they try to cross the map; they'll die visiting your friend's village.

Are you going to team up against raiders? The raiders will have all been killed by the time you get there.

Are you going to give them free stuff? Sure, I guess...

"We played on Hardcore and made it easy by there being 2 of us!" .... why?

"Some people just like playing games with their friends." So do I. Most of my gaming is multiplayer. But we play games designed for it.

Because it's fun to play with friends. Period. MP games also have longer lifespans. It doesn't have to have PVP, just MP. No excuse to not have it this day and age.

Anyway you're getting off topic. No one can actually answer my question, only complain.

To answer the OP question, after reading many posts about this game, the devs have clearly stated that the development of this game is finished and what you see is final. Unless the modding community can keep people playing and those ask for more development in the ensuing months. So if more development is to happen it wont be for many months.

What exactly is the point with the lifespan? I mean, you normally only want to hold players indefinitely if you
1) want to sell them a subscription
2) want to sell them micro transactions

As the devs plan on neither and they get all their money from the sale in a fairly nieche market, what exactly is it about lifespan as if this was a live service that makes it so important.

Just curious. A coop mode would be interesting, but I don't see it by far as the necessity you seem to see it as.

DLCs is also a thing. There's a TON of MP games that don't have micro or subscriptions.

Okay thanks. That's all I needed to know to make sure I don't buy it then. Appreciate the direct response.

How fast would have Age of Empires died if it didn't have multiplayer? 19 years later, that game is still being played in tournaments. Just because you don't need multiplayer, doesn't mean it wouldn't be fun for others. "entitles millineals" really? I take it you don't have any friends and always game solo because you have no choice. Which actually makes sense, cause you're kind of a jerk.

actually i grew up with video games where there was no MP meaning you had to earn every inch of video game respect and achievments yourself..No hand holding no Hey bud log on cause i cant play this game myself! No i have friends but does not mean i wanna play a game made for 1 PLAYER with a bunch of people who would screw up everything the game was designed around!
