If player fight non-player (or even player), and another player attacks the player who is already fighting, just give a notice to player in question that the player he wants to attack is busy, and make him wait till he is done. Haven’t played it… but you can’t possibly do stuff like set production orders and similar? move units around? Sure, I could see you jumping out to just look at the map and read stuff and plan your next move, but being able to actually do anything would be out of the question.įrom my topic about the same thing OP mentioned : I cant immangine what it would be like in a game with 4 players, let alone 8. And this is just my friend and I playing. Why cant one person do manual combat while the other is managing their cities? It is very frustrating to get sucked into a screen where the other person can do nothing. How is it that, 11 years later, we still have to watch each other play out our manual combat turns. I thought computers were powerful enough by now. The one thing that always frustrated us however was having to watch the other person play out their manual combat turns while the other person is able to do nothing. It was a pain in the but to get the multiplayer working some times but we could eaisly spend a weekend playing an 11 year old game and have more fun then playing the latest AAA game. My friend and I loved playing Age of Wonders Shadow Magic. This is a cross post from one I made on the Steam forms to get more eyes on what has been to me and my friend the biggest disappointment in AoW3.
