The game is designed to be played with multiple players. Even in single player mode, you take turns against the computer which is technically a player in the game. There is no mode where you're just playing with yourself, I would not by any means consider it a single player game and that's by its nature. Basically a computerized board game that requires you to play against an opponent human or ai
Multiplayer means against other humans.
Does it though? If all the players start on relatively equal footing with similar goals where only one can win, does it matter who is in control of the other players?
I will say, this topic also spurred a healthy discussion in my house. In the instance of civ, I firmly believe AI opponents who are playing the same game as you qualify it as inherently multiplayer even when playing alone.
Yes it does.
Riveting rebuttal. Way to explain your reasoning. You won me over /s
I don't need to argue over what are basic definitions.
Me either. Multiplayer games have multiple players playing. Wether the thinking is done digitally or organically makes no difference. It is possible to play a multiplayer game alone, that does not make it a single player game
Hold on. You really think that when you play against a CPU you're playing multiplayer?
Wow
You think when you play a multiplayer modes game alone your suddenly playing a game designed as single player? Just because you can play a multiplayer mode alone doesn't make it a single player game.
A player is a person.
Nobody plays multiplayer Civ except for a small niche group of people.
You're simply wrong, that's all. You can learn you're incorrect and accept that knowledge. Or you can continue to reply with wrong statements.
Either way, have a good one.
Well I hope you continue to enjoy playing a multiplayer game alone with the computer
I wish you luck on your continued journey to understand English. I understand how it can be confusing. I think you'll get it though, you show promise.
Yeah, multiplayer. Multiple players. Not multiple humans. Sorry you have such a hard time understanding this. But you are playing a multiplayer game wether youre playing with bots or humans.
Multiple players means human players you moron lmao.
I hate to resort to name calling like that, but holy mother of Mary you're dense. It's way too funny. I feel like I'm talking to my five year old. Except he understands logic.
You keep being you, Klieg. You beautifully helpless mess. Kisses!
