I couldn’t believe when I saw that people were complaining about no lobby or chat in the lobby.
The game is inside one of the largest game player lobbies on the planet, it’s called Steam.
You can see everyone interested in the game, if they are online, see if they are playing, send them a message, chat in text or voice, all both inside and out side the game you may be in.
You can create groups, join groups, and create friends lists of people both inside and out side your groups, create group chat rooms and invite people, or get invited.
The possibilities to find and communicate are basically unlimited.
Check my signature link below. You will see I belong to 5 groups.
Empire Total War at 1, 074 members
Empire Multiplayer at 122 members
Code of Honour at 18 members
Clan Wars Competition at 11 Members
The Imperial Guard at 4 members
Plus 12 friends
That's 1,241 people that play Empire, that I have literally at my fingertips (some of course are in multiple groups) .
Not to mention that all active games are visible, and have possibilities to join or watch with players I may or may not already know yet.
And if you don’t have time to chat, and just want to find a quick game, Steam will set up a match for you in minutes.
Who needs a lobby?
