So we need to able Mongol v Mongol in Multiplayer.(Can you still doing this in Custom Battle?)
Also maybe bring down the Mongol Cav a peg or 2.
Also the AI should start doing port2port invasions.

Make the kensei smaller. Bring back old naggies. Have casualties retain their clan colors...

I just want the strategy school.
And i would like to see discipline affect something other than rally rolls. Maybe it could also affect battle effectiveness and resistance to rout (things that the manual says it does, but i'm not so sure).

1)new units all look the same as each other
2)No color diffrence between you and you allys in Mongol era
3)Bad voice overs for the generals
4)THERE IS NO WAY TO PLAY MONGOL vs. MONGOL!!
THEY NEED TO ADD A FANTACY ERA WHERE YOU CAN USE ALL THE UNITS ON THE BATTLE FIELD IN ONE GAME!!!!
6)no time limit diplayed in the foyer stating wheather the host has a time limit set!!! (this has been asked for many times)
7) no way to have the attackers koku higher like in the custom battles(this would help some people out in the games like for instence in the clan war campaign (hosted by magy)

now you all have a great day because when night falls there will be hell to pay

I'm not sure if there will be a MP campaign as such. Ref this thread, the post by Target: http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/Forum1/HTML/001700-2.html

The next question would be if they plan on enabling TCP/IP gaming so we don't have to go through the server to play games. They won't be ranked, but that wouldn't bother me for fun and testing games.

Then we need to know if we can get an interface in the program sequence allowing us to save the game at a battle sequence, extract the armies' information, build and fight the battle online, then input the end of battle data into the game.

This would give us a manual way to fight a MP campaign, the strategic side is trivial since it is nothing more than the same thing at 20 year old PBEM/hotseat games.

Would this be clumsy? Yep, but then MP campaigns are clumsy compared to SP.

Would it allow my buddy and I to fight out a campaign over a few months time? Absolutely.

Is this an unreasonable time frame? Nope, many games that take me a couple of evenings to finish in SP take a few months to fight in MP mode.

"Bring back old naggies"

What do you mean?

New naggies look like yary sam except with different spear. The old ones looking different made them easier to tell apart and gave them their own identity. Now they are just a yari sam twin. phooey!
