This all looks amazing, I am very excited for this. One thing I would like to see an episode on/or to get an answer too and from my conversations with other people who enjoy 4X games I should not be the only one. I love playing 4X games with other people however I rarely get too because of the time it takes and in extension to that because of how boring it is to be the losing players, I have also noticed that waging war and aggression is something that gets frowned upon as it can result in someone having a bad time for the next 8 or so hours of gameplay (if you play on quickest settings). which I find to be sad as it should be a fun thing to interact with for all players. Are there thoughts on catering for this type of gameplay as well? will I be able to play through an entire game during one evening with friends? I will play it regardless but from past 4X titles that I have brought to a group of friends, this has been the reason it never sticks as a multiplayer game and I have always resorted back to single player where I feel a ton of the potential fun of the Genre is being lost. as there is something special about screaming at your friends for having troops to close to your silly named city or trading with actual players while communicating over discord or begging your friend for aid in a losing battle against your other friend.
Sharknado is real guys :V (i love how devs explain their work, i havent seen this amount of entusiasm and confidence in a looooong time :3 and i like it)
Hopefully it’ll be a blast. Please don’t mess up this game guys. But I didn’t understood if this game civilisations will have initial differences. Can you clarify it folks?
