Howdy Gawain of Orkeny :) Long time no see.

BTW: It's properly done like this:

ElmOoOooOoOoOooOoooOOo! hehe Think of it as a combination of Elm and MoOoOoOOo! the cry of the madcow.

Have you tried MTW2 since the patch. We miss you there. Goat is always asking for you.

Stop in and say hello sometime.

we're rebuilding the MP section from the foundations up.

Oh cool, that means MP will be great

probably not enough time left until Kingdoms is released to really improve M2 mp.

How much time is needed? I thought with any product series the idea would be continual improvement. So far that's seven years

Seven years and the result is a worse battle engine and worse network performance. It works worse over broadband than the older game worked over dial-up with the same number of men on the battlefield.

Wrong we have to use small units

In NTW we could use 200 man units.

I have to say though that a few times Ive gotten in 3 on 3s with all good PCs and connections and the game flies. In fact its too fast.

Gawain: I was on the night before last for the first time since the patch release. It took me awhile to finally get the patch to allow me to play online. :) Typical CA patch code.

The patch was a big improvement to gameplay and a lot of those infantry units now have a major role in deciding the outcome of the battles. All-in-all, it was a fun experience and I will enjoy testing all the unit vs. unit and formation stuff.

Ole Goat and myself, played two 2v2 games and lost both, so we still "have it". Our routing skillz are 2 L33T!

PS: I'm surprised you still hang around here amongst all these non-M2 veteran curmudgeons who have made it their mission to see to it the .org continues in its decline as a place to enjoy discussing the latest TW MP game.

I stop by every once in awhile, but it's beginning to smell like a retirement home around here and I hear it's not healthy to stick around in such depressing environments for any length of time.

Those who are amongst this grumpy group, might consider registering with the International Antiquities Preservation Society or join the National .Org Federation of Ubiquitous Nonproliferation-ists ("NO-FUN" for short) . . . . or possibly an animal rights activist group and petition to be placed on the endangered species list.

Some players will accept inferior gameplay and poorer performance and claim that it isn't worse it's just different. M2TW is worse than the 1st generation battle engine in both tactical depth and performance. It's obvious by reading the posts of players that have the game. Even Creative Assembly has said that the network performance of M2TW is compromised by the design.
