Well, I have a problem. I bought LSN six months ago.

You might want to sniff around the config files, if you could allow deploying a different race for yourself. It might be rather weird to play Eye Spy with mechs, for example.

If you want to play with AI then challenge pretty much anyone here. They're all artificial posting machines created by my nemesis to make my post count look tiny.

I think it would be the exact opposite. Many people loathe online play, and if there was an AI and a simple scripting language for ai behaviors in the editor, it would attract a lot more players then MP only. As it stands the game on one demographic only. Online strategy grog-nards like my self. The game is very accessible to a first time user. The devs did a brilliant job of that. Its a shame that more people wont get to experience it because of preconceived notions. A map editor that would allow people to make SP missions and campaigns would greatly extend replay value and garner more interest in the game. It wouldn't water the game down in any way either so the purist's would not have to worry about any of the goodness going the way of the dodo. Either way im still very happy with the game even though i just found out about it!( i know ridiculous, found this site and the game on accident trying to track down a used copy of xcom. Even thats a good example of how the game would garner more attention from the add pc rags and online game review sites.) *Alt Tabs back into LSN* |

The SP missions are a (relatively) new addition, they are not really where the game was intended to go, more of an add on to try to get new players interested without having to brave facing a real opponent. Once they've done that hopefully they'll join up for online play.
Also if you look at it from Codo's perspective, they won't make that much extra money, and considering the effort they would have to put into it to to develop something like that. If codo were to expend the effort to develop something like that they would have to charge a lot more than they currently do, and the game would probably not be worth buying. Do people ask for a Single player version of WOW so they can play when they are not connected to the net? |

A lot of good sense above.
LSN is really a very simple game, with simple graphics, and would hold interest for very long if it was single player. The thing that makes it really outstanding is the fascinating battle of wits against a human opponent, and the community in which results matter (tournaments etc.). ![]() ![]() |

Did any of you guys ever noticed how we always get the exact same discussions over and over and over and over and over and over and over again every year?
Hummm... My sig was smaller back then. But I was ranked exactly as am I today in the Elite division! Spooky! |

Hey, how about adding a new race? And nerfing Saucers? 3D maps would be nice too. Anyone tried mouseholing lately?
