First MP impression

[CanCritter]

my first impression was that TW and WOW had a bastard lovechild and called it shogun2...could do without the powerups

Lol, was thinking exactly the same from peoples comments, though I aint bought the game.
So any scope in this game for good old fashioned 4v4 slugfest? Preferably without gimmicks.

Just to offer a different perspective on things: I've been playing TW since Shogun, but I've never ventured online before until today. It is awesome! Playing against something that is not AI! No pausing! Not finding out that the unit you charged was not katana but yari sam until your cav has routed (because you couldn't pause)! I'll probably be a jaded vet with time, but I'm enjoying it while it lasts.

I wholeheartedly agree with the fellow above - I'm new to MP too! Just a quick question, has the bug whereby your opponent can start with negative funds been fixed yet? A few times when I've played, I clicked on the opponent's tab and it says -500 or the like, and the countdown circle at the bottom will say 'unable to start as a player has overspent' or somesuch, yet it's still starting. Are they just changing troops quickly and I'm not noticing?

If someone goes over funds and the timer runs out, it just takes away that unit which made funds go over and then starts, so no worries.

I agree with the one guy it is abit of a pain having to mouse over units just to tell some apart, instead of just being able to read off banners, but sadly all groups share the same icon.

I can't complain; my graphics settings are so low that I can't see anything on the banners anyway.
