    Ifind that splitting your army in half, attacking with the main army, taking the other half of the army behind the enemy without them noticing, and attacking them from the back is the best way to gain an advantage in the battle.

    I've got an unusual tactic that I want to share, but every upload link I go to gives me all sorts of failed link problems. Can anyone help me out?

    ok, i have been writing a MP guide for a while now, a lot of content has been written but the polishing off (spelling/grammer) and editing (to explain things clearly and entertaining) is taking a long time as i am not very good at English, even though its my first and only language!

    is there still an interest in a Guide? or has the game been out for to long?

    i know people need to read it, i've played them and make many errors that they might of avoided if they had read it.

    if there is an interest then i will work out something for your enlightment and enjoyment

    I still see new people coming into the GS rooms quite often and it is always easy to find a game online. Whether most of these players are already hardened and experienced is another matter. On a personal level a guide would have been a great help to me when i first started (and probably still would be). It is a big leap from SP to MP and from MTW MP to Rome so i would think there should be a clamour for any available online tips even if it is not in a polished format. Whether the release of the latest RTR or BI will kill off the vanilla lobbys is another matter entirely.

    Yeah, I have been playing MP for about 3 weeks now and I personally think I handled the leap pretty well (after a few learning defeats) after all i think i learn more from my mistakes and watching the replay.

    Wow, excellent post Romeo Longsword.

    I was wondering if those who were discussing the grouping formation movement could post a summary of all the grouping movement/(re)formation tips please as I am having a lot of trouble myself too.

    Control +A seems to be a bag of dice for me. The army will either retain it's overall formation at end of movement or be all over the place.

    Thanks in advance

    Well thanks to all who have answered this thread. As for me - i don't play RTW anymore, not for 6 months or more, especially not in multiplayer. I started out as an enthusiast with Shogun TW, an amazing game that realised many dreams about online battlefields, which was added too in Medieval TW. However, RTW, although a fun single player game is sadly lacking in MP and, indeed lacks the intracacies of the single player game in the previous versions, bizzarly enough.

    So for me, TW is dead, long live its successor!

    Is this the right thread for a little tech help?

    I finally d/ld the 1.6 patch for BI so I could play multiplayer today. Had a good two battles, but then after the second it spat me back at after the completion of the game to the mp menu 'online battles, lan battles, change cd key'. When i click online battles it just says 'failed to log in'. Help please.

    I will. Your connection with GS either got disconnected through the game or after it. To solve the problem, just restart game :)

    I am very interested in a MP guide. I read a MTW MP guide and found that to be very helpful. Even got some comments from others saying they were glad to hear I had read it.

    I'd be happy to help with the Roman section of the guide and provide replays of using certain tactics if you want Lord Preston.

    Hi comrades,

    i am a newb to the online battles, i have completed the campaigns a few time and now fancy pitting my wits against some of the big guns out there.

    problem lies in the cd key, everytime i enter it it states that it is invalid, is the any kind of universal over ride?

    any help will be much appreciated.

    Not sure if your problem is solved by now, but you must enter the CD-key exactly as it shows. Numbers from 0 to 9. Letters from A to F. There is no letter O, it is a zero. all letters are capitalized, don't use lowercase letters. And don't forget the dash (-) between each group of numbers.

    Hope it helps.

    It is about time CA does something about the CD-key validation module. Accepting dash or no dash, lower and upper case and convert all O to zero before validating is not so difficult to do and doesn't defeat the CDkey password scheme.

    No there is no universal over ride.
    As LadyAnn says, your cd key should be entered exactly as it is shown on the back of your manual or on your cd case. But with one exception to what she said....all Letters are LOWERCASE not capitals. (RTW uses lowercase MTW uses capitals)

    For example (this is not an official cd key)...
    1a23-2a23-3a23-1a1a-2a2a-12a2.

    If you still have problems report back here.

    First post in this area of the Org...

    Here is the story:

    Me and my little brother wanted to play multiplayer. I said "ok", uninstalled Rome, then re-installed. I patched it to v1.5, then installed BI, then patched it to v1.6 (which has 1.5 i guess).

    Well, i couldnt get on multiplayer. Finally, after about an hour, i applied patch 1.5. MP worked.

    After several fights with my brother, the game CTD'd. I then loaded it back up, puzzled, and clicked multiplayer.

    Now it says "not compatible......BI v1.5 (... "

    BI doesnt have a 1.5, and this is the problem i had before. So, i used the 1.5 patch again, didnt work. Used 1.6 patch; Still nothing.

    Anyone else have this problem?
