Multiwinia

[Jackel]

Having recently played the demo, I am very interested in purchasing this one...however I am hesitant because I don't see too many people playing this in the CoG Steam group, and while playing against the AI is fun...(in the demo at least) it seems like the AI is repetitive in its tactics.

How many of you picked this one up? Is the online population large enough to last a few months or is it going to dry up quickly?

I loved Darwinia, so I'd love to play some Multiwinia as well. I haven't bought it for the exact same reasons. With the fall season being as jammed packed as it is with games to play, I figure this is a terrible time to pick it up anyway. Who knows whether I'd end up playing it or not?

[Ghostbear]

I will probably purchase in January/febuary. For now, Fallout, sacred, L4D and gears call to me.

Multiwinia is fantastic when you get a good game but I'd wait on the coming patch to add in all the stuff that should have been there day one, like private servers and being able to see what options a server is set to.

Right now its just too obvious the game was designed for 360 matchmaking (as part of Darwinia+) rather than as a standalone PC title.

OK, ignore my previous post. This trailer supersedes it.

Necroposting to see how many people got it from the Steam Holiday Sale. We should get Multiwinia Mondays going!

I bought it, but I think I want to go through Darwinia first. I'll play eventually!

You're going to kill us all, then! Haha, we all just jumped right into Multiwinia.

[Lint of Death]

I want it, but already bought way too much other stuff. :)

[MagGnome]

Excuses, excuses. :p

It's a lot of fun, even if I do suck.

[Acidpoptart]

I also picked it up on sale, and also suck. I am up for some MP goodness! lets do this.

Assault was really fun hehe. We gotta do more of that.

It's true - on both points :D. Here's a memory-recalled log of our game:

Magnome: Wtf, my guys keep disappearing!

Cappin & Handmade: No, we're killing them.

Magnome: No, but I had this huge army.

Cappin & Handmade: Yeah, dead... all of 'em.

I had a lot of fun with what I have played so far, so I'm definitely in if someone wants to play.

Does the game support voice chat, or is there just a chat box somewhere? I didn't see any options for this (although I didn't look too closely either).

You could just use Steam voice chat... or use a real client like Vent.

From what I've seen, there's only text chat. Voice chat would be awesome, what with random screams of terror and manic glee... what. You guys don't do that?

We really don't need to talk about that. :mad:

[Panthera]

I grabbed it too, so I'm up for a game.

Great!

It sounds like there will be a lot of Multiwinia games going now. :)

[BrassGecko]

Alright, I'm up for this! I was going to just say I was good to play before I beat Darwinia, but then I went and finished it this evening so now I have no excuse.

You actually finished Darwinia? Wow!

I actually have no idea how long the game is. I stopped at some point, and for all I know I was near the end.

[BrassGecko]

It isn't too long, but I think it's a good length. I need to go back and play with the stuff that unlocks with victory.. plus I still need to try Multiwinia! I blame Lint of Death for side-tracking me back to Wesnoth.
