Should KB have multiplayer?

Having just finished the original KB I'm really having trouble seeing it as an MultiPlayer game. Maybe an alliance mode, but competitive? How would it work?

And how much longevity can a game have where you just do a few quests, fight a few fights, and then you're done? It will be the same thing every game unless they provide tons of different scenarios. If they are anything like Nival, which like me you know all too well, this will come with a sparce amount of maps to play. Then what?

And frankly, what's the worry if they do include it? No one will force people to play multiplayer. Just like Heroes (sorry to keep going back to that), you have single player and multiplayer. Something for everyone.

Oh, and I'd be perfectly fine with an Alliance mode. That would be cool.

Multiplayer ? If you want that why not just go play HoMM 5 ? About the same, besides i think the entire King's bounty system has been worked towards singleplayer and not multiplayer nor coop.
I'd rather see them focus on adding more stuff for the singleplayer campaign:
New areas, new quests, monsters, troops.. other stuff..

Im with KingImp nobody is going to force you to play MP, I would love to see MP added in an expansion because more often then not when they leave out MP they dont make up for it by adding more content

I voted No, and for those claiming what would it hurt, it wouldn't be required... Well it would need developers to work on it, and adding it isn't just a couple lines of code, but a whole development project in and of itself. Time better spent to increase longevity and playability and versatility for single player mode.

wow that was a really stupid comment

I would really like the option of testing my hero and his host vs other players. It does not have to be like heroesMM in that the players quest on the same map, and build armies. If only they made another "tournament" type system where you can just fight your army against another player i would be happy. They could base the fights on player level, you get in a queue determined by your lvl and fight players of the same level or near. Really enjoyed the demo, considereing the release.

Very true. I too, would rather the developers used their time and talent to improve the single player mode.

Really, your comment was totally rude, crude, immature and uncalled for!

I will say this. I voted yes only because it has been said that the plans were already set for it to be included in the expansion. I will agree that if they haven't done anything to create this mode that they probably shouldn't waste time trying to make it when they should concentrate on adding more content.

I have to ask though, where have the rumors come from that said MP was definitely going to be included in the expansion?
