Just thought I would post this thread to see what peoples hopes for the MP will be. When I say game play I mean not just how the game mechanics will work but also the restrictions it will put on MP players.
As a lot of you are aware in the past, mainly since RTW, to actually play MP properly and make it a fair games rules and restrictions have had to be applied to make things balanced. Whilst in my opinion this has always been necessary I have always thought that it was a great shame as well as we were often reduced to playing the same rules on the same map taking a lot of diversity away from the game. I guess my hopes for Empire is that we can still keep the game balanced but actually get rid of a lot of these restrictions. Wouldn't it be great for example if it was designed similar to how NTW was and we could actually play a wider variety of maps in competitions and so forth? Mainly because hopefully CA have at last managed to master the art of making both maps that have diversity and balance.
A think another important thing is going to have to be the way each faction plays out. Obviously because of CA's stance that we have to have some form of wacky and wonderful units in the game i.e elephants.
Just my opinion on the matter any one else think other wise that maybe these restrictions will still have to be applied no matter what to make the game balanced?
