I want full multiplayer !!!

[d6veteran]

I have played online turn based games and they've been a great time. There are other ways to implement the online campaign game so please don't shoot it down like CA has.


[PL].Quake, glad to hear you're taking a whack at this. Have you ever thought about starting with a simple implemenation like so:

In single player campaign mode, all battles to be fought online. Basically when the battle scroll comes up and lets you select either withdrawal, auto resolve or fight ... have a fourth option - play online. This would then host that battle online for a player(s) to take the seat of the enemy armies.

The multiplayer allows you to host historical battles (i.e., preset units), so I assume you could mod to host custom battles. And if you could host custom battles, then possibly you launch an online custom battle from the campaign game.

IMO this would be a first big step. It would eliminate the tactical AI and blend online play into the sp game.

I would gladly assist in anyway I can with that project. I'm a java developer with some C++ knowledge.
