Hi, i'm trying to settle in my mind general concept of multiplayer in PA. What we do know for sure: there would be Galactic War - Epic replacement for Single Player Campaign, and some sort of Mega-Games 12-24 hours long and involves 40+ players (source). Sound's good, but come on, really? Just single system for 24-hour game, while we have power to annihilate galaxies?
If Uber doesn't do a multiplayer GW (I think they are doing one, so don't worry yet), I'll make one as a mod.
I assume that GW will be multiplayer as well. ...now that I think about it, I would love a mod that adds Warhammer 40k factions to here.
Good luck with that, GW is know for having Lawyers with very itchy trigger fingers in general, and in this case even more so as they have thier own RTS franchise already. Mike
So on a similar enough subject that I don't want to create a new thread. They mentioned "Mega Battles" before, with 40 players. And their idea was, with each person knocked out, the unit cap would increase. I thought this was a genius idea, that could be done in a single instance (Instead over a galactic turn based type map, made up of separate battles). Is this planned, or is it purely going to be a glorified game browser?
As I understand it: Galactic war = glorified metagame/ladder system (I don't mean glorified pejoratively, it's going to be good) For some reason people keep mixing it up with 40 player, 24 hour matches. Different things entirely.
