EB 2 multiplayer (campaign)

[tupan]

Since the EB 2 will run on M2TW Kingdoms will it have the mp campaign possibility like the ones mentioned in the forums:

"There are several versions of (M2TW) multiplayer campaigns. One of the more popular versions I have seen on the GeneralsCollective (link is in my profile) is played by each player in turn, and the saved game then sent via email to the next player. Battles are fought by autoresolve. The drawback is that you actually have to trust all players to play fair (ie no cheat codes etc.). Doing this version of the multiplayer campaign actually involves installing a small program on your computer.

There are a variety of other versions out there. I think Stig regularly plays in one of them, iirc.

If you want to play battles against your brother, you have to have two computers. "

Will this be possible in EB2?

It sounds like the technique you mention will can be applied to EBII without EBII specifically incorporating it. That is, it sound like the version you're describing should work for just about any mod?

I hope this can be incorporated into EBII. It would be real fun to play against no AI opponents.

I have been wanting to play an EB campaign with my friends since i first came across this beautiful mod. Kingdoms allows multiplayer to take place by hotseat on a single computer if this could be incorporated into EB it would make EB II much better for me

If you are interested in multiplayer hotseat games you should check out the Throne Room here at the org, where there are a number of such campaigns going using various mods such as Stainless Steel and Broken Crescent.

In fact I have hosted several of these games and I'm waiting eagerly for the release of EBII so I can host the first EBII hotseat campaign!

I will be sure to post here to recruit players for that game once it's up and running.

Good grief, that would be awesome! I was aware of the "hotseat" feature, but really didn't know what its use was. It's sad that battles have to be autoresolved, but I guess that's the only practical way to do it.
