I'd rather have MM work on AI as opposed to TCP/IP

Anyone else feel the same way as myself?
I get the feeling the amount of people playing by TCP/IP will be miniscule in relation to those wanting AI enhancements.

I agree, first the AI and other refinements!

I want both, but if I had to choose I think I would go with better AI. I think. Can't decide! AAAHHH!!!!

i disagree..without tcp ip...hard to get my Online gaming buddy to play. TCP IP is most important for this game to really take off. its a selling point..i always thought this game had it before i bought it..i dont mind waiting.im learning as i go, but too long...it will take the point of playing. I dont really care about beating up AIs, i want to beat up my buddies..:P

to me..tcp is everything..since you can tweak the AI forever and it never be as Smart as a true human..grin.

I've changed my mind. I want TCP/IP over AI now.

I don't have two uninterupted hours much less TCP/IP time. Market wise, Online gaming is probably a miniscule fraction of sales, even more so for turn based wargames as opposed to twitch and shoot stuff or RTS. Give me better AI.

I think very few people will have the time or want to spend their entire weekend multi-play a turn based game. At least I will never try that, even if I do get 10 hours free I wont spend it all on a game (and if I do, my friends don't).

I vote for AI.

(ps, how many turns can u play in 10 hours anyway, 40? probably won't even meet your human adversary ).

I have seen this debate on every single forum for strategy games in my days. There's always those who want it and those who don't. I say put it in there and give people the choice. That's what sells, alot of choices to make.

I'm all for an AI upgrade first.
