	simultaneous moves vs turn based Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations

i have a LAN game of c3c with about 7 other ppl tomorrow, in order to keep the game relatively short the others have opted for SM. How does SM actually work? it sounds like a recipe fo chaos and disaster. any important strategic changes from playing SP or TB MP? Do you have to be as fast as you possibly can in SM?

As U have no doubt discovered by now. Simu moves = ALOT better because one actually has MORE time to do civ mgt stuff while others are doing their maovement phase.

It all works well, until, as U probably found out... combat happens. Then it's a bit hairy, but exciting IMHO.

Hope U enjoyed it.

turnbased is best as it gives you all the time in the world to make your move sand do city stuff...

I cant stand simul moves as he who moves first wins, on a LAN it may be ok, but on internet with lag it sucks...

"Poll: Format for MP" - a thread where the simulplay and turn-based formats were debated on their merits and detriments.

"Timer Use in Simulplay" - a thread where I asked about the multiple-move exploit in simulplay

That should suffice.

I'm sure Fried-Psitalon or MotownDennis will show up soon enough to explain why they like simulplay better. As for me, I go with turn-based over simulplay.

Mmm, turn based. You too can spend 30 minutes doing nothing while your opponent moves, and then he can spend 30 minutes doing nothing while you move.....

If you like time to think, play simulturn with slow/no timer.

Friends don't let friends play turn-based.
