Hi All,
Looking for some pointers on where to start in ETW MP... have recently come back to playing TW from a long break so need to get up to speed. Hi to all that know me from old (HighFistRW) also looking for where my old clan associates RW & Ugly friends ended up?

hi Fist,
You should start by joining up steamgroups as there is no foyer (there is a pinned thread here on groups).
Then finding a populated server. There are many servers and some has only a few folks on it so you won't see too many games.
Finally by realising that there are only four (well, five) cost efficient unit in the game: riflemen, guards, dragoons, sikh warriors, and mortars. The first three makes a good RPS, the fourth gives the usual inf heavy rush option (think of the byzantine rush) and finally the fifth gives something to ban.
I don’t believe me eyes :captain:
High, it’s great to see you here.
This is fantastic!
The Critter still wears his Ronin Warlords moniker, and I have readopted mine also.
You need to get into some Steam groups like Lional says (Hi Lional :smile: ).
Here’s one to start with http://steamcommunity.com/groups/etwmp

Classic Land Battles...
Choice of two eras...

The only rules that I have seen...
No Fixed Arty (no mortars, rockets, 64's)
United Kingdom server seems to be most populated at evening time (GMT+1)
It seems to be, the more Groups you belong to the more players you will meet/see online in ETW.
What is your Steam Account name? (so that others can find you)(I have found you)
Hope this will be of help to you.

When you log on to ETW click on Multiplayer>Total War Online> Battle List. This will show you the games available on the server you are on.
There is also an option at the top of the list of games that you can select to play Ranked or UnRanked games just leave the one you want ticked. Untick the other one.
welcome back High....hunt me down online and we'll get ya sorted out :yes:
