I've encountered this bug few times already in both MP and SP modes and it really is frustrating...

Nope 3v3 max in MP.

Yup that grouping bug is a pain in the butt. Looks like play testing wasn't as good as I thought it would be given the game took an extra year to come out. I think I would have liked the year-ago version over this one! hehe ;)

I'm not too worried about though, there will be a fix. As will other bugs that show up over time.

If you have been around since STW days, you would be worried. Seems we get only one bug fix and it will be months from now and then we are on our own. :) Anyways, MP is a moot point since there are a lot of people getting the Invalid Cd Key message like me. Not sure if the Gamespy server is accepting any cd-keys now. LOL

Elmo, the README file noted the change from 4v4 to 3v3. If the change is in the readme file, it must have been a last minute change. I wonder if it is a moddable thing.

Gregoshi, I just got online and played some MP. My god the interface for MP is horrible! To host games you have to click click click it is a mess. Also, now to chat in game you have to hit 'T' then a menu comes up on the left side of screen and you have to choose who you want to chat with by either clicking on a persons name or "all" or "Team" or "Enemy". 2 clicks instead of just one. Forget about chatting in game while playing. Instead of making the game easier for new players, it will be twice as hard for them to play MP. It almost looks like they purposely made those changes to kill the MP side of the game. I am extremely dissappointed. I just hope the SP campaign game is good. I have never played a single player campaign, but that is the only thing left in this game. MP has just been killed off.

I had 35 archers die in less than 2 seconds by a charge from a horse unit that had 4 horses left in it and that was fatigued. hehe

Well I am off to play MTW see you guys later.

That doesn't sound very encouraging Elmo. My only comment would be that this is day one of a new game. I'm sure we will be learning more about how best to use all the features of the game as the days and weeks roll by. For example, have you looked into all the game control setting? Maybe there is a short cut key for "chat all", "chat team" and "chat enemy" rather than going through the bulky "t"alk menu/submenu.

Don't give up hope just yet Elmo. Give MP another few weeks before you throw yourself off the city walls in despair.
