Hi all,  
Hello everyone,

I am a Kickstarter Backer, I would like to know if the last goal is still a topic.  
i hoped the dedicated server would come:

_Persistent, Connected World: We’ll offer the option to host your game on our own servers (this may require a fee). All hosted games can choose to participate in entirely new gameplay modes with other hosted cities!_

_Here are some of the things we’re thinking about:_

\_ Your cooperative games will be available all the time, not just when the computer serving the game is on.\_  
\_ Establish alliances and supply-routes between friendly, player controlled cities.\_  
\_ Trade in the global economy that spans all hosted games.\_  
\_ Band several cities together to create your own Empires\_

My guess is since they didn’t reach that goal during the kickstarter and are truly considering how they want to achieve the other goals in a somewhat timely manner… I don’t see this happening.

From my understanding, anything dealing with multiplayer is up in the air, and currently, anything beyond multiple people on the same map is labeled as “we’ll see” or “I’m sure the modders will add it”. Honestly, I feel this list will be an “official mod”, but not part of the base game.
