as i saw that ufo ai features quite a nice multiplayer mode (that i didnt try yet i am ashamed) i immediatly thought of extending to further ...
[this should be done later in development. i think it is much too early to try it now]
what about creating a master server on the internet where - say 8 - players meet to play a game of ufoai - together.
4 phalanx - 4 aliens.
every battle on geoscape is fought by humans. maybe multiple battles parallel ...
spectators may maybe watch what is going on.
in my opinion this would greatly increase the challenge and encourage playing new campaigns.
comments?
