Hi guys, I was wondering, is there a way to play a multiplayer EB campaign? I don’t play campaign because single player tends to be very boring for me. Maybe you share the same thought, but you may play a campaign if it is a multiplayer campaign.

The subject was discussed three weeks ago in this thread (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?142629-How-do-you-think-a-hypothetical-Multiplayer-EB-campaign-would-go). It is possible to combine the EB campaign-script with a hotseat-script, but it would still be a hotseat game rather than a true MP game. People take turns at playing on the campaign map, but the battles are still fought against the A.I. A full EB campaign probably takes too long for an MP game, anyway.

However, I think something like The King planned to do here (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?132878-EB-MP-campaign) is feasible, and could be very fun. The host plays the campaign game and acts as referee, but the teams give him instructions and fight the actual battles. It would take quite some time to organize, though.
