Have any of you tried, or even been able to try any Classic Battles yet?
Is anyone finding people to play with there?
I am interested in the Classic mode for competition purposes.

Master Tomi,
Yes we have played a few classic battles but 3v3 are buggy. Most of the time someone drops and its hard to setup games right now. We were successful in setting up 3v3 matches thru invites only. When open games were hosted we rarely had peeps join, maybe something to do with players being able to see games...I know I rarely see any.
The problem is the lack of an International Foyer/Lobby.
As the game is at present unless you are logged in to a Clan Chat room you cannot link up with people you know.
Even this restricts you to your dedicated clan players.
All the people on your Friends list do not show in Foyer or in Game List battle setups.
I have no idea Tomisama how you would be able to set up and run competitions.
As I understood it the Classic Battle mode was 'supposed' to allow you to play MP the way you did in other TW games.
(Look for/host a game by choice or name, join and play. That was so easy to do.)

Do your best and do it according to your own inner standard
--call it conscience--
not just according to society's knowledge and judgement of your deeds.
Yes, I made a tread about this problem. All you can do is hosting games and invite people with steam, thats the only way to get teambattles going right now.
Unless you want to play for the ladder, than you have to play via MM.
The classic model will have a hard time, i doubt many will use it!

Well with the Clan Wars Competition, all Matches are scheduled by the participant Teams days in advance, with Steam being the major method of summoning players from both Teams for Battle when they meet.
So although I believe that the current visibility problem will soon be fixed, the limitation of "invitation" would not present a problem at all..
We do always fight 3v3, and that may still need some attention, but this may also be solved by the above convention of "invitation" only.
Guess what I am really asking is about the Classic Battle mode its self.
Checking the Classic Battle box provides a set of nine game-clan choices with all units and their selectable upgrades available to all players (believe all are the same).
All of the Map Battle upgrades for Generals, Unlocks, Retainers, are gone.
What is left is very close to the format we had in the original Shogun.
With the Map and Leaderboard competitions in-game (so to speak), my thought was to make the Classic Battle mode the true battleground for community competitions (at least the CWC).
Player to player balance is my main reason for looking in this direction.
Thoughts?
Knowledge?
Tests anyone has made (I am very limited time wise atm).
