why are there no multiplayer AARs?

[runes]

frankly, they're much more interesting to read/see shots of.

it would be cool there were some good breakdowns/aars (possibly from both sides) of battles.

I heard over at the center's forums taht it is because EB's government system would be all jacked up if the hotseat mod was used. But I do agree, multiplayer AAR's are very interesting, even in Vanilla.

Are you just referring to MP custom battles Runes? Because that could be done easily enough, would be quite interesting too.

Even if this could be worked around a MP campaign would probably be so difficult to organise and actually play over a decent amount of time that writing an AAR would not be a project to undertaken lightly. A shame would be a nice concept

AAR = after action report, right?

i'd like reading (w/good pics from both sides) the debriefing of a battle and deconstruction of tactics etc.

You see no MP AARs because:

MP IS NOT WORKING

and I am supremely pissed off as you can see. MP is were I get my real EB fix. Nothing beats playing a Human player, with a limited budget, and even better is when 2v2 (although I have to do so) OH man...


Actually the issue with MP not working was solved BUT the factions are missing A LOT of units in the MP folders. although some factions are missing more than others ...

As you can see we have to wait UNTIL 1.1 comes out to play EB MP. I am sure the EB team WILL have it fixed by then won't u fellas?????

He doesn't mean a mulitplayer custom battle AAR (I believe). I think he means using the hotseat mod to make all factions playable in one campaign so multiple people can play.

well madmatg told me he got MP working.... but I am still awaiting confirmation of the faction unit issues.

[icydawgfish]

In MP, many iconic local troops for each faction are missing (like classical hoplites for greece) and the Romans have no Romanunits except equites.

You just both put in the same multiplayer EDU. Oh and you also need the same version of the map.rwm. I don't see what the problem is?
