Realm Divide in MPC?? (FotS)

[emotion_name]

Hey guys

I posted this at MPC area but havnt got any answers, so thought i would try here instead.

I recently bought FotS and convinced my S2TW MPC buddies to purchase it as well (there is 4 of us, play MPC regularly).

Anyways, me and a friend finished a Head to Head MPC where he was Saga and i was Satsuma and i noticed Realm Divide didnt kick in. We had agreement in place that we would conquer whole map before fighting each other, so RD should have kicked in.

When it didnt, we put it down to fairness considering we were both of the same allegiance - If i become Vanguard why should my friend have no choice but to be subserviant, and take huge diplomatic hit if he attacks me for example.

So, we finished it up and have started another one, this time he is Choshu and i am Sendai and as of right now he has 30 regions and i have 22 and RD still hasnt kicked in. Now as we are different allegiances i thought the RD mechanic, for lack of a better word, would apply much the same as it does in a singleplayer campaign and yet it hasnt kicked in.

So, is this because RD is disabled in MPC on FotS and if so is it disabled for both head to head and co-op?

Or, even worse, are we simply encountering an annoying bug that we have to fix?

Well, Realm Divide is certainly not disabled in FoTS. I'm guessing its disabled for multiplayer campaigns but I have never done one.

Neither have I. Maybe if it is disabled it is so players don't experience what the OP stated first. A balancing issue. Though, realm divide does seem to be a defining feature for FoTS.. It could be a bug.

I guess it is removed due to the way the game may develop. If you are playing on High difficulty settings and head to head campaign it might end so that the other player attacks you with the support of all the other clans which makes the MPC 1v1 quite unbalanced for the AI has a huge effect to the game.

Yeah, we thought that but then we thought that at the point one person becomes Imperial Vanguard the other player could be made Shogunate Vanguard, which would "cancel" out the one vs all!
