1-4 players?

[1dread1lahll]

The offical site has a link to a gamming site review....it states a "winter" release date for US (nothing for anyone else) and says 1-4 players. I hope this is not a "compromise" in return for getting 20 units.

oh that would be bad...they cant really be that stupid, can they?

Wich one? The only one I found so far:

HomeLAN - What can you tell us about Rome: Total War's multiplayer options?

Ian Roxburgh - The multi-player options are still under discussion, but there will definitely be 8 army multiplayer battles over LAN and internet. Historical battles will also be able to be played in this way.

good-- i didnt think they could be that dense, lol. That would be 6 steps backwards.

Don't you think they meant 1-4 players PER side and not total?
I mean it would be kinda lonely when there is only 1 player in the game.

So far I have only seen official statements mentioning the normal max 8 players for a MP battle. Think that is just yet another gaming magazine/website who doesnt know what they are talking about.
