I get it now....

I've been with the TW series since the original Shogun and have never played online. I've always played the AI, complained about the AI being stupid (which it really isn't, but you do get to a point where you have a pretty good idea how to manipulate a win), and never once played an online battle.
I cannot believe what I've been missing. Its great!!! So if any of you see "The Real Devastatin Dave" out there, enjoy the victory now, because I'm learning with each painful, but thrilling, defeat. :2thumbsup:

You think you are having fun now?

Join a Clan and play in some classic battles with veteran three player teams from around the world for seasonal championships honors.

Now that is the ultimate multiplayer experience :wink:

Welcome to the club. :)

Don't forget, TW mp experiences will improve strongly when part of a friendly crowd.

I should change the title of the thread... "I get it now... my arse handed to me in almost every battle!!!". Fun but challenging. I'll join a clan when I start winning 1/4th of my battles... Right now I'm on an 0-6 streak after being around .500 for my first 10 battles. I've got to improve my tactics....

Everyone likes to win :charge:

But even at the highest level of perfection, you will only win half of your battles against equally skilled and equipped players. That is the way and excitement of all competitive sport.

Unfortunately the avatar system is self-destructive in that respect, as it develops and allows matches between un-equals. So that in fighting against an established hierarchy, you may not have a chance to advance.

Look for opportunities in the new Fall of the Samurai game due this month, as everyone will be starting over in the new era. Other than that I would recommend Classic Battles, where at least equal availability to all units for all players provides a level playing field.

Good Luck and Have Fun!

This disrcinmation against Un-equals, is something that is not allowed on the Org. I am a 2 star on NTW and a 7 star on Shogun. Even if you don't progress to the higher level, you can at least still play for fun, idiots.... the whole TW MP community from every single TW game are idiots.

Charming...

Now you really do get it!
