Alright, as many of us wanted with Medieval Total War, we didnt get it, now with Rome Total War, we dont want it, we need it. We need a multiplayer that is more than just crappy battles, that's sorry a--, we need one that is as extensive & indepth as single-player.
We need something on the lines of this, or exactly this plus more:
A massive online multiplayer game, have say one main room, mabye two, mabye three.
It is like the Campaign map, exactly, but with more, its much more larger, say 1,000 times the size, or 10,000 times the size of the Campaign map.
However, the territories are not the size they are in the single player version, they are to be split up into states, or counties per each one, say, 100 counties for Athens, with small towns in each one, just like starting with a tiney town in the single player game. But, each of these small sections on our screen, will be the size of the usual sectoins, because the map will be much much larger.
Athens itself would be a massive city, which only one person will control. When you start the game, you should get to choose where you want to have your Empire. You will start with a few counties out of the hundreds of thousands.
The trade is the same, the bribing is the same, the military making, town upgrading, all the same. Taking cities, countries, all the same. Making fleets, the same.
Have servers for say, small, one for normal, one for large, and one for huge size units. Those people who have the right amount for their PC spec's, sign up for those.
Your thinking, what if your a new player, and you want to start it online? Or what if you get conquered? Simple, well all sign up for like a month prier to the launch of the campaign. Were assigned the faction we want in the general area that is randomly selected that is related to the faction of your chooseing. Once the sign up period is over, we all begin on the same day. And go from there.
What if you want to join a clan? Or make one? Simple, make an interactive thing up top, where you can search clans, and to join one, you must have their approval & password to join into the team. Doing so, your faction color will go into theirs, but they do not get any access to your funds, nor military or buildings, you control all of that yourself, but the game will add up the total cash, total buildings, total military units, and total ships in the fleet.
You can search in the servers massive database, all the players, ones on clans, ones solo. Can review their military sizes, fleets, countries, cities, towns, etc.
If your attacked while not online, your AI will defend. But to do this, we'll have the AI skills on maximum, to ensure no ganging up on someones Empire while their offline.
Everyone can make alliances, make war, make peace, come to others aid, etc.
The game wont last just a day, it will be there infinetly. You log-on, load up, and play. When your done, simply log-out, and its all saved online, for when you log-on once more. It will last forever, but be fun. Its not for immediate conquest, that would take millions of soliders, but its for just an incalculable amount of fun!
This is how the multiplayer should be, if someone would please make MOD RTW to be like this or more, please do so, or if we could inspire CA to do this, with a petition or mass E-Mails of this, with more features than you can list here, please lets do this! All that agree, say Aye! Well need good modders, well need horribly fast servers, extensive databases, CA can do this, within a month they could have this all set up. Let us inspire them to do this or something very similar! For God-Sakes, the multiplayer is just plain sad!
I say, Aye!!! Make it!!! Have like a questions board to gain information & request of what we all want on it, and make it CA! Then release it in a huge patch, and then we can sign up for the starting server games, and begin the largest online multiplayer Campagin ever! I guarantee that you'll get millions more buys of your game's giving you inmeasureable amounts of cash in the end of people wanting to play RTW online! Do this for us guys, lets inspire them to do so!!!
Any other suggestions?
