Noticed that there is only Arena; bought the game mostly to play with a friend (I love 4X games, but I really don't do any games alone haha)
any progress/news on "standard" MP?
One of the devs stated the other day (in so many words) that she is making progress on working out some of the bugs that prevented full MP from being included in 1.0.
So the team is working on it, and seems to be making progress.
Like you, I'm looking fwd to playing MP with my friends, so fingers crossed & they are working on it!
Hope this helps,
