Maybe I'm asking too much, since the publishers are different.. anyway.

I would love to be able to go online to MTW, and yet be able to see those in STW and MI chatroom, i.e. 3 chatrooms in one screen. I play a game of MTW, nice. Back to foyer. I see an interesting MI game hosted by the uglies, and I just select, click and play MI.. without havnig to exit MTW and launch MI.

This would be very nice to have ...

Sounds great but surely you would need a disc covering all 3 games perhaps MTW the warlord edition. Like the idea though, I would not like to see MTW take over at the expense of STW/MI

Idea is good. But its same way we wanted MI coupled to stw. Dont see it happen, but hope for the best,... prepare for the worst.

Dare.

If you install the games full, you won't need the CD for game once you start it. Its needed on startup to check that your s/w is a legal copy.

I'm not putting any hope on this possibility, but maybe, just maybe someone from CA/DT/Acti see this and reconsider http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/biggrin.gif

It's unlikely for them to consider this feature.

The only persuasive argument for doing it is if peple will be able to see and communicate with players in the others games they haven't got yet ... which might promote sales of those games.

But the sales run for STW and WE are probably over in the minds of the business types at CA, so even this argument is weak.

This feature, if implemented, can certainly please the old-timers.
