The Update

Do you think that the Battle AI blog is going to blame us and Sega? :-p

12 November:

Dear All,

For those of you wondering where the Multiplayer Campaign BETA for Empire is, it's still in test.
As it's a BETA product there are also legal and technical issues around distribution to you all which we need to solve prior to release.

It shouldn't be too much longer now, we are still working on it alongside Napoleon, so please do stay with us.

On another note we've just returned from Russia and are due to head to the US next week to show Napoleon to a number of leading websites and journals there, which should yield plenty of new info for fans based in these countries.

Kind regards,
Kieran

So in 2020 they will release it. Or am I too cynical?

They say NTW will have a full Multiplayer Campaign, I think...did I miss read it?

Anyway, that means they have to have gotten some of the bugs out before Feb.

Time is creeping up on them.

Heaven forfend you release a shoddy and unfinished product.

Ever since RTW The Creative Assembly have been holding their patches to a standard of Q&A clearly not applied to their full game releases.

Well pity you announced it as a beta then - you could have gotten around all those issues if you had just said it was a finished product - just like you did with ETW.

Just when you think they have forgotten about updates they spring a couple of them on us.

2 December:

Firstly, hello from the Napoleon world tour in Australia, where we've just seen some of the Aussy press guys, lovely chaps.
For clarity the Empire Multiplayer Campaign signups begin on 7 December.

You'll be able to sign up at that point to participate in the free open beta trial.

Kind regards,
Kieran

3 December:

Our thanks to everyone for their positive response to the Elite Units of America pack.

For those of you hoping to see an Elite Units of the East pack too, we'd encourage you to watch this space.

Kind regards,
Kieran

Lannnnnnnnnnnnnnd when are they gunna release a dlc or expansion that increases the world map, or makes it biggerr, cause thats all I'm interested in buyin ca!

[antisocialmunky]

I am actually curious @ the Elite Units of the East Pack. But the DLC for ETW has really been somewhat disappointing but I guess not every game can give you downloadable boobies.
