I sure don't, but I've thought a lot about it. I'm wondering if Imp2 multiplayer would be fun. The problem, of course, is the huge amount of time that each turn can take. I don't know about you, but I agree with the author of the strategy guide, in Imp2 you spend a lot more time *thinking* than *doing*. This is a good thing, I love having the freedom to consider every move carefully and patiently. I think that in a multiplayer game the pressures to end the turn and move on will diminish a lot of the fun. I can't imagine a 6 way multiplayer game... > (need I mention that this is the reason why ImpII should have had some > kind of pbem support?). That sounds like the perfect solution, this game SCREAMS out for PBEM support. If Space Empires IV ever fixes their PBEM support like they announced I'll probably go back to playing that again (if they have fixed it and I just missed the announcement, someone please let me know).
