    Default I played my first TW MP game ever

    And I had fun

    Last Saturday, I thought I'd give it a try.

    So, I clicked on a "only lower than 6 stars" game, hosted by a guy named "skynet". He had 4 or 5 stars. A nice fellow, friendly, helpful; very different feeling from the usual FPS "n00b!!!" stuff

    Played two games against the fellow. I lost, of course. First game I really played bad; I think the AI on normal would have beaten me just as easily. The fact that he had warrior monks, yari cavalry and katana samurai against my ashigaru didn't help either.

    Second game was far more interesting. I let him waste his time to take the buildings on the map (what do they do, btw? is it really important to catch them?) and positioned myself on high ground. My archers were ready to butcher his army.

    But a human being is not the AI... His bow monks had further reach, so he could shoot at my archers while being out of reach. Grrr.... I used an ashigaru unit to tempt him to waste his arrows on them. The trying to bait each other to move closer, constantly moving troops to gain an advantage took 10 minutes or so. It was pretty intense and interesting. My opponent was pretty patient and so was I. When the skirmishing was finally over, he split his army to attack my position on the high ground from two sides. My ashigaru were no match for his samurai, but all in all, it was a very intense and interesting battle.

    The chatting before and after the battles went well. Very friendly, civilised, helpful.

    All in all, this was a very pleasant and interesting experience.

    A pity RL doesn't allow me to really get into MP, but I'm pretty sure I'll play some more MP games in the near future.

    So, if you're looking for easy victories and an easy way to gain some experience points for your avatar, Barondres is my steam name and I'm always available to get spanked by more experienced players

    Best way to learn is plAy the best players/ vets . Get spanked and find ur plAy style and then try to counter and read ur opponents.Whilst improving ur macro and overall game control..
    After around 100 games u should b twice as good by then.. ;)

    Started playing MP this week. I've got to say that saving close games or ones in which you get thrashed and then reviewing them are a good way to train.

    I notice with most of my games I'm micromanaging a few, and the rest are standing around scratching their butts. That and I have a tendancy to send in waves of units. Unfortunately that is waves of singular units at matchlock monks.
    Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.

    Any idea where I can watch those replays? Don't know if I will ever play multi-player because I don't handle losses well, but would still like to watch and learn from the best.
