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...
