What plans do you have for multiplayer in Medieval 2?

Bob Smith: [...] We're also bringing back the choice of "eras" form the original Medieval [...]
combined with prasthereapers statement over at the .com:

4) Eras - lack of multiple starting positions

[...]

4) Each era is effectively a completely new campaign that needs to be individually setup, tested and balanced. Having multiple eras would inevitably delay release of the game.
lead to the only conclusion that the eras will be available in Multiplayer only.

Cheers!
