It is not a matter of taste, MP in it is current state is a half finished product. I have friends trying to play on MP but they cannot because of connection failures. MP is an advertised feature of RTW, all we ask is to make it work properly, nothing more nothing less. If it does not work then does not advertise it, if you advertise it then make sure it works.Originally Posted by Bhruic
As for my taste, I am sure that RTW MP has a lot greater poitential than MTW had as far as gameplay concerned!!!
Archers are stronger than in MTW, horse archers work as they always should have, spear type units are match for swords, cavs are not overpowered, elephants are not overpowering either (!!!!), chariots add an interesting spin to the game, factions have markedly different strenght and weaknesses, overall IMHO a much greater potential for an enjoyable MP.
Given this potential it is crying shame how CA/Activision handled the MP part of RTW. All that they should have done is to put in a minimal investment to make sure that the basic functions/features work smoothly. IMHO CA/Activison missed a golden opportunity to increase MP share, I am sure that with a minimal amount of care they could have easily doubled or tripled (or even got higher) the size of MP community, firts because all the hype RTW got, second because RTW does have the potential to be a good MP game.
