Multiplayer Campaigners

[Tomisama]

As much as folks have repeatedly ask for it (for years), we haven’t had much discussion about the multiplayer campaign (other that to say that it will probably be 1v1).

How many here are interested (besides Polemists ).

And what, if anything do we know about what’s in store?

We know that not only can you control your own faction, you can also fight any battle as the opposite side against your enemy. Say they invade france, you have the option to play france in that battle.

Strategies will be needed. I'm very interrested.

And that it will take a few months after release before its ready.

I could see myself playing some campaigns.

It will be good when it eventually gets up and running properly but I will say this, don't expect anything spectacular for months yet.

Whilst I suspect CA do care about this feature I'm pretty sure development of this will take back seat in comparison to expansion packs etc. So yer whilst I am looking forward to it what I see is a long process before this becomes part of a completed product.

BTW the reason for the pessimistic attitude is I'm not getting my hopes up again. I've been doing that since RTW so I'm more concerned about CA delivering us a good MP lobby system which actually works. Then my faith might be restored.


*Edit* CBR pipped me to the post with the same point 16 minutes earlier.

I dunno, it sounds pretty cool. I figure the first month I'm gonna be busy learning the controls and deciding my favorite factions, then trying out single player campaign to get a feel for it. Then, finally, I'll feel ready and will possibly try to go online.

I'll likely get in an MP campaign or two (assuming I can find the time, anyway). Given that this feature probably won't be fully implemented til at least this summer, though, I'd say we have a little while to wait.
