I have been playing M.U.L.E ever since 1983 when it came out on my buddy Bill Smith's C64, been hooked on ever since...i was telling a young friend of mine in the gameing community about this game and went to google it up for him, and to my amazement i see it is now available online for multiplayer play...i quickly downloaded it and started playing, finally took some time to look over the webpage, and low and behold i see there is a M.U.L.E 2 out....so, of course i had to check it out...and i would say i LOVE the whole thing....i don't know what all the people are fussing about, there are few suggested suggestions that i might agree with, like adding some planet animation might be nice...but as far as the size of the people on the planet, please, come on, you can't tell witch dot your controlling?
I LOVE the idea of 5 and not 4 people can play this and the extra ammount of resources in the store and the extra plot of land that is available because of the increase of ammount of players that can play.
I LOVE the way more then 1 person per turn can buy M.U.L.E's and outfit them and put them on their plots at the SAME TIME...this is great, and the bonus is, you can't see what the OPPONET is up to when he is buying his/her outfitted MULE.
I LOVE the idea that you finnaly put these CHARACTERS ABILITIES into play, and WOW, what a bonus, you get to choose a CHARACTER EACH ROUND...and its great that the guy who is leading is the last to choose...man, that is REALLY GREAT!!!
What is a BUMMER is that i can't complete a game, the server keeps locking up, with 2 people and 3 A.I.'s, it goes to about the 4th round and stops working....with just 1 person and 4 A.I.'s i made it to the 11th round and it locked up again....so, if i had a complaint, could you maybe make the MULTIPLAYER protocols better? or do something about the server from freezing up?....other then that...man, you guys did a REMARKABLE JOB with such an AWSOME 16 bit graphic game...NICE!
Your Friend
