I'm very likely going to get the Venice expansion pack, which features multiplayer.
Only thing about multiplayer, though, is that I can see games taking really, really long periods of time. The game is massively time consuming, things take a good while to do.
I think multiplayer would
have to rely on save games - I.e you play for a few hours, save - then pick up another time.
I could well be wrong, the multiplayer mode might be nerfed to speed up gameplay - But when you consider it can take a good 3-4 hours to get your economy up and going, then hours on top of that to develop a military, you can't really have a "quick game" one evening.
Also:
I'm putting a warning out - This game is HORRIBLY addictive. As I've said above, things take a long time to do because of the sheer scale of the game. Thankfully theres a reminder every hour or so telling you how long you've been playing. I lold the first time "You've been playing for 3 hours now, why not go get some fresh air"

Graphics wise, this game is *gorgeous* - I have an ATI radeon HD 4850, which plays it on "high" settings - and very nicely - But a peek at the advanced graphics setting shows the default settings for my card is nowhere near "Full" quality, sadly
