First impressions on mp

[Tempiic]

Sitting at the airport of Kualalumpur (however you spell it) being boreeeed, thats why I read this thread. Hopefully Ill give it a try this weekend and then find out about it, and give some feedback. Or not, if I am too busy playing it. Yeah bit useless post, but I am bored. ;)

Salut Tempiic :)

Well i manage 2 games last night, and i'm fairly impress. I think we might have something here. Some cav need speed tweaking for sure, as i had trouble catching archers with mounted sergaent. With 2 games i cant talk bout the balance. I'll try more games before commiting. But i actually had fun. Of course i had a host quiting on me, but i was expecting it

finally got my copy

First impression:

1. Lobby looks nice.. blue, with better font, make reading easy. The moving background is abit disturbing. Can't have private chatroom like STW, and worst only one room...

2. played 3 1v1 with clanmate AK. 2/3 GS disconnected. 1/3 ok. Our 1v1 has no lag. Both of us had video setting at lowest.

3. the sprites look terrible from the usual zoom-out view.. maybe its because i had settings at lowest? they look just aweful...

4. cannot distinguish my units.. they all look the same to me

5. where is the ctrl+shift+num grouping?!?! Would appreciate CA bring back this control.

6. game balance.. can't comment much.. cav is different.. hardly can use a fast cav to raid the shooters during the shooting battle like in MTW.


All-in-all, am happy to play TW again. Better than RTW for sure.

I also played my first games last night, was rather impressed. It was fun especially since I played with a couple of VI friends, made the experience more enjoyable. We played a couple of 3v3 games, I had minimal lag but on the 4v4 it was very laggy. It does give a slight feeling of VI with the better graphics of course. Nobody mentions the sound, I think the sounds are intense...hearing those arqs shoot is incredible. I expect the units will need some balancing...to early for me to tell what needs what.

5. where is the ctrl+shift+num grouping?!?!

I think they mentioned this on page 54 of manual havent confirmed it works...and say hi to LeChevalier for me!

what they mentioned is not the ctrl+shift+num grouping, or what we call soft-grouping? its not in the demo either.

Sure will forward your regards to Clar dont think he has got the game yet
