Then I think, as Apple says, there should be a realistic MP setup with full rosters and another as it is now. I do not think they are unnecessary for one, and many players want a full range of units to choose from with more light and levy units, and less heavy and elites so battles are played is they would have been in RL. For one it would be great to set up battles along the lines that happened in RL (Magnesia, Telamon, seige of Alesia, Allia, etc. for those that want to attempt historical situations) so MP can recreate these events with rounded out rosters.

Would you rather use the EDU that was with the original release? (no fix)

Mullato are you free right now?

No, but seriously, it's easy to in the name of historicity cry: "Yay axemen for everybody!", but then one is forgetting the MP lessons of 6 Total War titles. There is a reason why RTW MP lobby still has thousands of players each day on Gamespy whilst on M2TW and ETW you can barely get a game started, so why is RTW MP so much popular? The answer is of course faction diversity, in the other TW games the factions basicly all share the same types of units.

So if we start adding in every possible unit that a faction may or may not have deployed in some obscure battle somewhere, then every faction would have every type of soldier which would result in every faction being the same=BORING

Probably this is because folks don't care much for historical realism in their games, yet for B.C. era games like EB, RS2, and RTR, that strive for high degree of realism, its pretty gay MP doesn't have the same level of commitment to realism. Single player custom battles is not an worthy substitute for this IMHO becasue the A.I. is lacking in tactical aptitude.

Still, there are gaps in many factions that need to be filled by accurate rosters and their AOR units found. All Celts used axes to some point, yet only the Belgae have them, same goes for chariots, naked guys, etc. and other things I have mentioned. Greeks have need of their levy phalanx units, Romans have only a few auxilla and legions, etc...

Is this with full rosters?

I ask because iirc custom battle in SP have every unit in the game (Dacia with Parthian units, etc.) so thats a bit too much. On the other hand, you at least get your full roster mixed in their somewhere. So I assume thats more accurate as long as players stay with their faction line (no Spartans for the Belgae and that sort of thing).

Mullato are you free right now?

Yeah, I think so as long as daughter behaves lol. I'll hop on Hamachi

[Hellhound1]

Ah ok, so we'll need to get a list of the correct units for each roster, and add them in, then i can make a patch for the right units to appear in game.

[apple]

We could easily make a custom modfolder for Historical Multiplayer.

[Hellhound1]

Or just overwrite the edu in singleplayer?
Whichevers easiest

[apple]

Well if the launcher get fixed for MP then the modfolder. If not then yours.

[Hellhound1]

You edited your post while i was replying xD

Yes, a modfolder would be a much better idea, that way you actually have the choice.

[Chicken]

Well guys, basically, Hellbound, you're incharge of all the networks (Im really busy in real life atm, can't be online too much) and also, If RSII gets a MP sub forum, then can a moderator (I'm looking at you, apple) please set up the various stuff needed....

anyway, if I'm too inactive on the forums or something, can you guys be able to work out something between yourselves?

[Hellhound1]

Thanks, can you delete the usa and eu networks? ;D that way theres no confusion between which networks to use, if we set these ones up then we can have system messages and all sorts xD

And yes. i hpoe we get this subforum

[Chicken]

@Hellbound: I'll update this on the main thread.

[Hellhound1]

Cheers dude :]

We did try tonngle, but it really didnt work xD

[Mulattothrasher]

Well if i come up with a list of acurate rosters, whihc is easy to do (not sure about implementation), where should I post them?

BTW lost a battle against Lazy O, and the second battle he got disconnected CDT. Good games for sure

[Hellhound1]

In here, then GI can implement them (i hope )
Then either ill make a patch right away, or it can wait until the launcher is fixed, and the complete patch comes out.

[Mulattothrasher]

ok, I can do that, but I need to make sure someone, at sometime, can make the changes. mainly its adding units, but also taking a few away (like Greco-Scythian Eryrnes archers in Iberians roster, Dacians in the Boii roster, etc.)

[Hellhound1]

Oh yeah, no doubt SOMEONE can do it. One of the amazingly clever coders hopefully
