MODERATORS
FYI: For those out of the loop like me, the headline is written somewhat ambiguously and actually means "free multiplayer features and Age features," not that multiplayer isn't included at launch.
That being said, according to the Civ website at launch "up to five players [will be] supported in the Antiquity & Exploration Ages, and up to eight players [will be] supported in the Modern Age." One of the post-launch updates will expand that limit to 8 players throughout the game and another will add teams and hotseat to multiplayer.
Not sure why they're not there at launch since they've been standard Civ features for years, but...
Thank you, was about to rage
