Hi there!
Is it any chance to have network multiplayer option to be implemented in Knights?

It will be nice to have it in a way similar to how it is implemented in knavalbattle: by default, try to detect local games with zeroconf, but also allow to specify his nick, host and port of the "server" instance of Knights.
And have an option "host a network game" with ability to specify nick and port.

At the moment it is not planned to implement such a feature and the amount of development resources for knights is very limited right now. knights supports playing on the online FICS servers. If you're interested in playing with other player over the network, you can consider using this way to play against other players.
