new game with mp potential

[pike master]

i saw an article about a game called xiii glory and death or something like that. this game may be geared toward a multiplayer community. if it is i would want to join in on it if it offers good mp support. have you guys heard of it?

it supposed to come out later this year.

Nope, never heard of it. Linky ?

XIII Century: Death or Glory is the name looks pretty interesting

I believe it's just been released, actually. No verdict on the game yet.

Not really my cup of tea, as the game consists of only battles, but it does look pretty good.

Who knows. Since RTW was released I've been browsing around and posted some info about this game in early 2006 on old .NET but since then progress on the game was slow. This could be a good sign too. Here is another opinion from IGN:
http://pc.ign.com/articles/782/782518p1.html

Real conditions of renowned battles such as landscape, time of day and weather conditions are taken into account

French knights are unequalled in mounted battles, Welsh archers are experts in forest fighting, Mongolian cavalry is lightning-fast and maneuverable, Italian arbalesters are the best shooters in Europe

Unique battle system taking into account 80 parameters and characteristics, which allow complete authenticity of medieval battle on the unit level

Despite the fact that there are some good RTS games out there and that many MP players migrated to online massive multiplayer titles while others are simply too tired of TW, busy with their life or shortening their time in VI lobby, XIII might bring some fresh air. One thing is for sure. I will test it.
