Does ingame chat work? I'd like to send messages to individual players, but how?

Re: Ingame chat?
You mean in multiplayer games? Right now you can only send messages to everyone or to your team. Private messages to a specific player might be added later. Outside of multiplayer there's no way to message people yet, but we discussed embedding IRC chat onto the multiplayer screen where you choose a server.

Thanks for the reply! That sounds like a great addition, since I would love to do some diplomacy with the friends I'm playing with.

I think it could possibility make it easier to play "unfairly", for example in a 1vs1vs1 game two players could discuss both attacking the other player at the same time. Sometimes that could be a feature (forming alliances) but generally I think it would just be annoying.
Although that's a pretty minor/unlikely issue I guess.

That's cool. Me and my friends were playing a free for all game with four players, and we were all in the same room on the same table, in fact. So if I'd want to tell one to be careful because one friend was getting too strong and we might want to temporarily team up, everyone would here it.
Although I realize it's a very specific problem that won't come up a lot! Thanks a lot for the great work though. This game is an old-time favorite of mine and I always wanted to play multiplayer with many people online, since networking games were always so bugged. This was exactly what I was looking for. I'll tell all my friends that used to play as well about it.

Nice coffee is always nice.
