I imagine this rate will vary greatly depending on the distance between the two units.

I too hope that E:TW will be a great game to play online. Even a good AI goes only so far....

If CA are to be believed then this game will have the best multiplayer yet. A multiplayer campaign, new multiplayer modes, a better multiplayer match-finder, a whole new challenge with naval battles.

CA is been promising this for every title - and even though the SP part of the game improved in various points (not in all), the mp part went from bad to worse. With all due respect to CA, as far as credibility towards the mp player goes, they dont exactly deserve a price.

In other words, that *if* is a big one.

You know, after Rome I wasn’t going to buy again…

I did anyway, and swore I wasn’t ever going to buy again…

I have already preordered…

And you know why?

From Shogun, through all of the releases, expansions, revisions, with all of the delays and disappointments, one fact keeps me coming back.
That is; in spite of all of the irritation and exasperation, with all things considered, Total War games are the best games on the planet, bar none!

As failed and feeble as they may wheel out, in the end either by the developers corrections or community mod resurrection, they all shine.
Each a monument along the path in the pursuit of the perfect game that will probably never come, but we will get closer every time

Here here! It's great to see someone else who doesnt relentlessly bash CA for every little thing.

A toast to Total War and the wonderful people who make it for us!

Not to ruin the moment, but I wanted to add in my 2 cents.

Ahem

I thought the article was pretty good in its presentation of information, but it was basically all stuff we knew before (as stated above). At least he had played a total war game before, and wasnt some random reviewer who slavishly worships disney movie game remakes or something ridiculous. Maybe the reason he hated gunpowder units so much was because he played as Scotland or something through gunpower age. It's a lonely feeling, I tell you.

A toast to Tomisama for being such a wonderful fellow and a keystone for the TW mp community all these years - not for the sales, not for the dough, not for the booze, not for the babes or the reviews - but for the sheer hell of it.

Companionship, honour and dedication = Tomisama.
