Will it have a multi-player game mode that welcomes 33.6k modem users?

Who knows.


However, given that we live in the year 2008 and not 1998%, and that
the % amount of broadband compared to modems connections in most of
the civilized world is probably the same as modems vs. broadband was
back in 1998, the logical choice would naturally be to optimize it for
broadband connections.

How (un)playable that means it well be on modems remains to be seen,
until the game is released.

Reasonable.

It would be better if one could choose map size based on expected speed
of connection, for example, 64-player for broadband and 8 player for 33.6k.

Modem...modem? MODEM!?

Oh God, oh God, oh God, it took us years to get decent widespread
broadband connectivity. I'm not going back to dial up! Not for you, not
for anyone!

It's ok, it's ok!

There's even a plugin for SC now that changes the default built-in
half-a-second B.net latency delay to LAN lan level, tho it requires
both players to be using said thing.
