Hello all
I dont know if this is possible to be programed into the game or if the current achetecture supports it but here goes!
If anyone plays the civ series you will know the holy grail was mp - but no one could figure out how to intergrate it due to the *extremely* long game times. In the end they created a system for civ4 where you could have a normal game ie when someone drops that civ is ai or destroyed or you could have a free join so that when a player drops and they werent going to come back *you dont save game or wait* another player could see the game in join list and join it as the now ai controlled civ. This would keep games rolling and full because its no fun to be playign when half the ppl drop! Anyway just a heads up on the idea I think it would make sins MP alot better.
