Arena only for multiplayer?????

from GalCiv4 Forums

As my title suggests why is this the only option? We were promised a co-op multiplayer mode when this was still in beta and we've yet to see even any mention of it. Honestly I pre-ordered this as soon as I could thinking I could play with friends and its been nearly a year and you have done the official "release" if you can call it that. Yet we are still missing 60% or more of the content we were promised.

The game is not missing 60% or more. Please cease with the hyperbole. 

As for MP they have had a major problem with it when the AI is added.

It was crashing every few turns.

They have a volunteer team working on it.

No estimate as to when atm it will be fixed.

we are missing 3/4 of the entire multiplayer. 3 game modes its not a hyperbole. The same issues we are seeing right now STILL EXIST in galactic civ 3......lol
A volunteer team? For a AAA full release game???????????? WHAT
Let me fix my "hyperbole." For anyone who didn't buy this game for single player we are missing 75% of the content we were promised.

The other modes were found to be buggy during testing. Would you rather that they had been released with the bugs? I know other studios that do that. Instead, Brad (CEO) told the developers to play a lot more multiplayer in their testing and get the bugs fixed. They are working on that now.

Devs: 

Please consider adding a Sandbox MP version for human players only, to the Test Branch.

No AI players yet.

This way we can help test its stability.

Thanks
