Wouldent it be possible to make a multiplay campaign where all battles are auto-resolved? Im no whizzkid when it comes to computers but surely to god it wouldent be that difficult i mean all you are adding is another player turn into the game before the ai moves.
Swoooooooooooooooosh
Please feel free to discuss, I wont give in to the mp campaign http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

swoosh,
i too suggested this a while back. it is the simplest of all the solutions. however, you also have to add the network code into the campaign and that could be a bit difficult. and frankly, i'd love to see this and would gladly pay for this as an ex-pack all by itself. i'm much better at the strat game than i am at the tactical. would be loads of fun to me, and there's certainly a few folks around that would be fun to have my assassins take care of ;) you'd prolly also need to add in a savegame thing for all the extra folks playing in one game.

Hi.
I think that if the campaign was put into MP that imbalances in the agents and buildings would make the game a rushfest. I feel that somebody would develop an "invincible strategy" for the campaign, and CA would now have even more to work on for the next patch.
However, balance could be accomplished if CA made the MTW bonus pack MP-only. But that will not happen.
Auto resolve of battles takes away half the game, wheres the fun?
Most people like this game because it has both strategic and tactic operations.
I wouldn't play MP if....it did not have the tactical side available. And I hazzard to suggest, nor would a vast mojarity of the TW community.

cham mongolian or dutch beer?
Auto-resolve? No thanks to that, sorry that is half the fun or more playing a campaign. I would use it sometimes against the AI out of bordem, but playing a human player heck no.
I'll shell out up to a 100 dollars or more for a campagin http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif
Hey after they get done with the add-on thats gonna be for single player, they can start on another for multiplayer to balance things out. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/joker.gif
