An in-game poll-mechanism that connects to the net and asks everyone what you should do next. I'm sure Apolytoners would be all over it!

First, the only reason I'm participating in this poll is because it was an excuse to look at Rasputin's anime avatar.

Second, I voted "other". I think they should work on additional civilizations with unique graphics and creating a unit library to support the mod-making community. We also need some sort of event generator if one is not included in the editors.

Now I'm going to hit "Submit Reply" and look at Rasputin's avatar again.

Simple. The patches. They should at least devote a majority of their time to this in the first few months or so.

Well since I have yet to play the game and find out how buggy the AI is or isn't, I will say give us MP ASAP. But if we find some problems, that might change to a we need a patch ASAP.

Why so restricted options?

In a official expansion-pack release (about 6-12 months from now), I expect both complete MP-support; more scenarios (obviously); more editors/editor-options & tabs; more Civs to choose between and (maybe) just a few more carefully selected techs, city-improvements, wonders, tile-improvements (well they added some in SMAC Crossfire). And perhaps some extra diplomacy/espionage/trade options. And finally some added minor tweaks and features as well. Compare with the SMAC Crossfire expansion. Dont be so modest.

I was going to say something, but Ralf said it first.

I chose Other because the others were a bit limited.

Uhm both?!

I sure hope there won't be another milking-the-customer-for-years-to-come with smallish and cheaply made addons episode. Civ2 was horrendous in this aspect... multiple "add-ons" with basically only a few pre-fabbed scenarios... a very late MP pack... a Gold edition... and then also ToT IIRC...

Let's have some of these goodies all in once for a change.

They should work on multiplayer rather than scenarios as the civ community will take care of the scenarios. A patch would be nice too, espcecially with multiplayer.

I voted "other". No matter how good the AI is in the released game, I'm sure there will still be opportunities to improve it. Hence, I'd like them to work on the AI some more.

Of course, I may change my tune once I've actually got the game...

I voted for MP next because I've never played MP (cuz I have no money...) but the game should have it. the MP community is important. Plus it well get Yin to be quieter

Yes, they should. Because the community is working so hard on scenarios Firaxis should focus on the more difficult stuff. And I want MP, so voted MP, but other MOD's are always welcome, as long as they don't cost too much.

Ralf : I limited the options do to the fact I wanted to see whether the SPers here would ever get behind a push for MP for us MPers, that is why I added OTHER,...

Rasputin, I doubt there any even hardcore SPers that wouldn't want MP in the game. MP = more customers = more money = more games later. Just because I don't like MP all that much, doesn't mean I don't support it.

I maybe an SPer but yah i would like to play with my friends, some of which won't buy it without MP, so yes i would like MP, but i also want at least one or two good scenarios. As i stated earlier. Although i think the game will ship with some scenarios and in that case, get right on MP

scenarios are usually bette made by the community so i beleive firaxis should forget scenarios and get MP working first.. of course to get MP working they will need to fix any SP bugs that affect MP

I was strictly an SPer in civ2, but i look forward to playing civ3 mp when it comes out. i definetly need the time to get used to it on sp though, so i dont mind that its coming out late. i voted other, howeve, becuase mp is not the only thing they should be woriking on. they shouldn't rush mp and have it out in three months, it should be at least six, so they can get it right, and bundle it with a unit library, more civs, scripting language, etc.

See the thing is that anyone can make new civs and scenarios, but only one person (company) can make MP. And that's Firaxis. Hope they do take their time on it. That way it's really good when it comes out, and maybe even worth paying more for it.

I hope you're not referring to me

On Topic:
I think the poll options are fine. MP and scenarios are probably the first things they would add. The only other thing that comes to mind at the moment is extra civilizations.
