Arena Multiplayer
« on: July 12, 2012, 11:57:33 am »
So, please tell me if this has been done through mods or there is a feasible way to play it but what about:

Hot-seat Arena Mode, in which one or more players can face off with custom creatures, grabbing throats and stabbing eyes.

Man it would be so fun.

This is a good idea and probably the only form of Dwarf Fortress multiplayer that could actually work.

I agree. This seems like the simplest and most agreeable multiplayer I've heard.
Plus... Master SwordsDwarf with full adamantine armor, matching sword and shield slaugtering armies of bunnies...

People love a happy ending. So every episode, I will explain once again that I don't like people. And then Mal will shoot someone. Someone we like. And their puppy.

Most forms of multiplayers are FEASIBLE.

Arena is just the simpler and most convenient. But I think Toady won't do any for of multiplayer for a while.

The main issue comes from having both different speeds and simultaneous turn based at the same time. Of, say, the civilization games that I've played, all have simul turn-based available for multiplayer, but everyone has one turn per turn. DF doesn't. Plus, like I said, it would probably take a full rewrite of the code to support this kind of thing.
