And before anyone says it, yes I know that SP was primary focus.  But all my friends and I have been wanting to play each other in GC since GC2 but there are issue that we hope get corrected.     

1) Attempted to start a MP game this weekend (to test all the custom races we can finally use in MP) and we were in the lobby and every time some one joined our game it would reset the race we had chosen.

2) Sometimes there are races on the list that we could not choose (this was random.) This mechanic is a bit clunky.

3) There needs to be a way to password protect a game just like any other game that has a multiplayer option.

4) Once we were able to select our races we were able to play a game with 56 races but on the Huge map is was very crowded as you may imagine. So this brings me to asking when will we be able to play MP on Immense?  Now playing with 56 races in SP work great and the down time between each races turn is a matter of seconds very smooth. And on Immense it does not feel crowded which is good.

Anyway that is it for now just wanted to report the MP  issues.
