We're still trying around with who hosts the campaign and whether this has any effect on the performance issues. We did a combined assault on Athens, with one army each and everybody was moving in slow-motion. Also during large battles on the campaign map the performance can get really bad due to the spectator thing. We both have PCs that are two to three years old and it shows! The loading time between turns is only as long as in Single Player but it drags on seemingly forever. The only downside right now is the performance.


It's really fun to fight a combined battle where one of you runs around with the cavalry to outflank, while the other has control of the main battle line.Īll in all I had a lot of fun with it and will continue further. As an added bonus your coop partner can gift some of his units to your control. You can spectate every battle your coop partner has. The fade after some time and work really well. This is really nice if you want to coordinate movement on the map and want to show something during the battles, when you are spectacting. You can paint Red Arrows, Blue Lines, and Green Lines with a T everywhere on the Campaign Map and the Battle Map. I think they put a lot of very nice touches into the Multiplayer Campaign: I had two crashes, but I also get them in Single Player, so they are probably not Multiplayer specific. We nevere encountered synchronization issues. I started a coop campaign with my brother, where he played the Macedonians and I played Sparta. I just got around to trying out the Multiplayer Campaign and have to say that I am really impressed by it. So I hope that, at one point TW series will really offer that kind of Experience, even if it has traditionally been Solo Campaign game. I hope, at one point we can have more than 2 player Campaigns.I remmeber.many years ago playing other turn based games with 8 players, such as Master of Orion II, and it have been something like more than 15 years ago. One thing that is not clear (and I have not been able to find any info about it), is the difference between "Head ot Head" or "Co-OP" modes. can be patient, yet hope at one point Multiplayer Campaign will be improved as well. I understand the Patches will attempt to fix things with more priority than the Multiplayer aspects of the game first, and I am fine with it.

I tried with friends, at the moment it seems unstable we are losing Synch very often and games abort. I am very inteestd in the Multiplayer Campaign, finally we have one.
