Ummm why don't you just organise a game where everyone plays as the most balanced and generic faction available? I would much prefer that CA use factions slots to liven up the campaign map.

Re: MP faction
@Original Suggestion: But that's the same as Spain vs Spain, Rome vs Rome and so on..
"Cry, the beloved country, for the unborn child that is the inheritor of our fear. Let him not love the earth too deeply. Let him not laugh too gladly when the water runs through his fingers, nor stand too silent when the setting sun makes red the veld with fire. Let him not be moved when the birds of his land are singing, nor give too much of his heart to a mountain or a valley. For fear will rob him of all if he gives too much."
Cry, the Beloved Country by Alan Paton.
Re: MP faction
Same as Rome vs. Rome.
But in MP RTW you could not choose the same faction as another player. So you could never get the balance that NC is talking about.
STW all factions had the same type of units on offer. So there was always balanced fight.
Re: MP faction
In MTW there exists a MP faction, the French, no special units...
Re: MP faction
its not as simple as playing the french vs french.. or rome vs rome...
balance is not just being able to choose the same faction... its true balance between the units and their roles. the rock paper scissors factor that this game is moving away from is the heart of what made the battles special for me in stw.
a regular faction like rome or france cannot be balanced for optimal online play because of sp reasons.. and i fully understand that sp is the more popular side of the tw series.
the concern of using a valueable faction slot is mute. the game supports the addition of several new factions. this is a built in feature for modders. this idea will take nothing away from sp.
making this online mode the only one available for play is not what my idea is about.. i want to play with all the factions from mtw2 just like the next person.. this would just be an additional option in mp... and imho once players who have never experienced the old stlye of stw mp try this setup it will quickly become the most popular mp game played.
Re: MP faction
lol in rtw ppl stuck to plaiyng rome vs rome
it will always be:
strongest faction vs strongest faction
u cant change this
and even if CA agrees im pretty sure ppl will find the best way to own others.. the "others" willa dopt that tactic.. so we will come back to:
strongest faction vs strongest faction

Re: MP faction
You obviously have no idea what NC is talking about. There was NO strongest faction in STW because all factions had the same unit choice and these units were designed in a way that countered other units....aka rock, paper, scissors.Originally Posted by Darren_Shan
Maybe people did 'stick to Rome v Rome' in RTW, what does that tell you about faction balance? Perhaps you should take a look at STW, you can pick STW/WE up quite cheap in the bargain bin and it is still being played over a fakeserver.
Oh and by the way, you will find that the only way to 'own' at STW is to adopt superior tactics, something that cannot be said about RTW
