I give up

another big loss to the game. any clans completely eradicated yet or we still down to individual players ?

we'll probably see how many people are resolute in sticking around after we see CA's first patch/attempt to save the MP community

there 2 MI/WE "fake" servers

Let's hope there is more than one more patch.

The standard patch policy has always been to make one patch only. We only got the quick 1.1 because of the serious 30 player limit on chat lobby.

Pardon my off topic, but “fake” servers for S:TW and M:TW? Huh? I am a complete n00b as far the MP component of TW is concerned, and I never thought one would need fake servers to play any of those games; one would just simply host and the others would join it… I know all about FPS cracked servers, but TW fake servers? I would appreciate some explanations, via PM if you would care to share any information that might be regarded… Well… Inappropriate for open forums?

BTW, I bought myself Rome five days ago, and still haven’t come around to it to play it online. I only know that I miss Medieval so much that I am seriously considering to start playing M:TW online; better late than never, huh?

Well there is a fake server that works for STW/MI. Thats what we have been using lately as the official EA servers have been closed down some months ago.

Yuuki and I had a few 2v2 test battles with the STWmod for VI last night and I must say it was a pleasure to use some proper controls again. I did miss the right click and box selection from RTW but the MTW icons, lower speed and alt left click to preserve facing is just so much better.

MTW and VI don't need fakeserver is just for stw/mi the reason its there is because EA's server is down and CA code for it needed to be cracked because they don't allow fakeservers to come up because they don't check cd-keys

MP its laughable really i was so looking forward to the mp in this game. seems you can only play as romans if you dont want to be at a disadvantage as every other faction is inferior. i normally like to play as the least played faction in other games just to be different but the gap here is just to big. but my favorite parts of the MP would be "failed to connect to host" now that explanation will help me rectify the problem sheesh and to try and host i would get something like gamespy cannot host possibly due to a firewall sigh. hundreds of people have this problem and its all our fault for not switching off our firewall's yeah right. seems they have their heads in the sand for this one. anybody recommend a good online game of the strategy/rpg variety as connecting to 1 game in 30 to rome has finnaly made me quit ill install the next patch(yes after 1.1) and cross my fingers till then...
