From experience i can tell you that campaigns 1v1 can be over in as little as 5-6 hours maybe less, When the campaigns are released ill be building a community for it and arranging competitions or just friendly campaigns so dont be put off that none of your friends play totalwar, Just look out for me setting these up and post your interest and we will get u some in some campaigns. Also im sure many others will be looking for opponents that have similar time restrictions or able to play alot.

Remember a campaign can be what you make it, if your pushed for time you can have victory conditions like capture the opponents captal or capture the opponents capital and hold for 5 turns, capture 4 of your opponents provinces even. The options are endless from a series of around 6 pitched battles to an ultra detailed campaign with no attack rules for 15 turns teching etc.

Bearing in mind that I've never actually been able to connect to a multiplayer battle, I doubt I'll have the opportunity to take part in a multiplayer campaign.

I don't have 5-6 hours at a time to play MP campaigns. My short campaigns take me 2 weeks to beat because I only play 45 minutes a day. That's what happens when you work FT and are in school FT...

Im sure there are many with the same situation perhaps we can make some thread later where people post what times they can play and match opponents up.

i will most definitely do it. unfortanately, i cant get on the comp for a while, so i dont know if ill be on when its released.........

plus imagine the lag; it takes long enough for every nation to cycle through the turns as it is, imagine another human taking just as long as you!!!!!

The campaigns are 1v1 so i shouldent imagine that long, again it depends on the player. I can only speak from my experience of rometotalwar 1v1 campaigns with amp and those turns took from 3-10 minutes. I spent the time amp took making his turns writing a quick storyboard or planning my own moves.

I will never have the enough free time to play an MP campaign, and even if i did i doubt i would have the patience to actually finish it. I suspect that the number of people who say that MP campaigns are a 'must-have' is very high, but the number of people who will ever actually play one through to completion is vanishingly small.

Also: IMO the design requirements for a playable SP strategy game and a playable MP one are like chalk and cheese. If you try to do both in the same game there's a good chance of making something that doesnt work in either.
