ofcourse we are all sad that not even the slightest thing is given to us to make online campaigning more possible.

1 thing we could use is allowing to field broken down units

BUT what i also would like, which shouldnt be much work to implement allwoing the outcome of a certain battle for input in your own sp campaign.

example
i am playing a campaign with 4 fractions, me myself nominate 3 friends to take play for a certain fraction.
i let the computer AI do the startegic turns and i do my own fraction, just like u in sp would do.
but when battle occur i press a certain button which generates a file , which is readible as an "instant broken down file for multiplay"

i host the battle online and use this file to create the battlestats (armies involved, weather season and so on). my friend representing the certain fraction joins and aplays the battles. the outcome will be used be read into the sp campaign.

in this way 2 players can play each their own campaign and provide a real human enemy for the other.

this would solve why i dont like SP as well, the AI is just not good enough. although noone who plays solely SP wish to hear that.

so your reactions on this most simplified form...

btw its not mentioned to be perfect.

I like!

That would allow the results from one battle to impact available troops for later battles. My one grumble about online play is that nothing is at stake other than a win. The next battle you fight is as if previous ones never happened. It would also put some variety into the army units and maps played.

Excellent idea.

That was a low blow DP. I've won some battles...I'm sure I have...I must have...most likely in an F Troop kind of way. http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/wink.gif

Email DP? Recently? No I've received nothing for nearly a month. http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/frown.gif * sniff *

Regardless of your taunts, I still like the idea. It means there will be new ways to lose. http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/biggrin.gif

Well, knowing the Cham's Khan there's certain to be another amateur-run campaign with MTW.

Krast will be there, and any tools they can give us to support the effort would be appreciated.

It's something to look forward to.
