Don't know if GG already does this... but is it possible though the implementation on Steam to join in matches that are currently underway? Basically so I could start the game and play and other people could see the game and come and join until the map is filled to full capacity. I've tried multiplayer a few times but each time has been a 1v1 situation... and it doesn't appear anyone joins during gameplay. It would be nice to join in matches that are already in progress so I can play against larger numbers of people. Also it saves me just sitting in the lobby waiting for a game when I could be running around a map.

I've thought about this more and decided it would be a hog of upload bandwidth for the host and may make gameplay slow if the host is having to upload a map to multiple users whilst also syncing with current players who are playing. Maybe the solution would be if TGC set up a dedicated server people could upload their multiplayer maps to, and then that would eliminate the problem? Just ideas... maybe I should have posted this all in feature creep - but since it's all multiplayer related maybe I did post it in the right place. Please don't tell me off

that is a good point about feature request. But as you say, this is the multi player section. I will ask and see how they feel.

I will leave this post where it is for now.
