Campaign MP

How would we do it?

MP campaign is (going to be) 1v1. One person vs one person.

depends how popular it is they might make it bigger! that would be awesome, but trying to coordinate that many peopleat the same time surely would be impossible

pever, I think you have that wrong. MP campaign is not 1v1, or at least not restricted to that. When the Daily Update was still running, and the devs were talking about the MP campaing, there were 2 devs playing and they were on the same side. One was France and the other Spain, or something like that, and they were talking about how they were trying to support each other.

What seems clear is that it's at least 2 players. I'm not sure if they ever said that was the total number of players that could be involved. I supposed it would also be possible for the 2 human players to play against each other, but it seems clear that coop was at least possible.

The MP campaign isn't necessarily player versus player. It's just a grand campaign except each player plays as a different faction. The players can choose to ally, to go to war, to ally and THEN go to war, or just be mutual buddies for the whole campaign.

I read this:

If player 1 attacks an AI army and does a battle, player 2 can controll the AI.

This hints at a 2 player only campaign.

That's what I took from that bit as well. While I wouldn't at all mind an MP campaign that allows 4-8 players, I'm under the distinct impression that it's being restricted to 2.

(I'd love to be wrong about that, though!)

Hmmm...I hope that you are wrong too.

To be honest though, I will love it either way.
