obviously a 8 player game would take forever but id be happy just playin 2 player and have the AI play the rest. turns could be taken at the same time and then when u hit end turn the game moves on. there's a game called crown on glory which uses that system.

and anyway if some people didnt wan to use it they wouldnt have to. i just feel its a shame that 50% of the game cant be played MP. I was hopin that some modding genius would've found a way to do it by now. and i dont mean PBEM
