BC Multiplayer

[Lupu]

Archers are great in BC no doubt.

A flat map like in vanilla is also a great idea, should be easy enough to find a nice spot. And yes, we definitely want to help build a nice multiplayer community out of BC.

Is anyone with me to create a BC MP communty with meeting times, because playing a mod in MP is very difficult if not organized.

[Randarkmaan]

Well, the mod is not out yet, is it?
But it could be very fun, one thing that could also be cool, is arranged battles, or perhaps "reenactment" is a better word for it (if it is imitated after a real battle), would make for pretty cool battle AARs and be fun to watch in replay. Would be a cool way to demonstrate how a battle was thought. Me and a friend once did Battle of Stirling (as seen in Braveheard) in MTW2, and it was pretty neat.

[firekiller]

well mod multi plaeyr need to be arranged check ntw2 in rome
A big prob will be if people are going to install like side mods for example real combat or the mongols from Kalos. Then the games will be incopitbel.

So if you wanna have a MP you will need to arrange it and make a list what you need like BC + RC1.3 for example

[KozaK101]

vanilla BC is good enough...just aslong as hamachi is in no way involved

if everyone put up xfires and added them then it would be easy to organise

[Miraj]

We're definitely gonna help promote a true BC MP community. Perhaps a subforum in the future would help?

That would be great and indeed neccecary.

MP with all these new units will be awsome!

dindnt see that post
A MP subforum would be great

[firekiller]

Well for a living BC on multi player it is wise to get big clans involt and organise tourneys on it. Like ccs or cwc twpl ect.

a good list of clans (am very active on mp so i can now )
And ofcourse normal rules like No art/ele 8 cav max (included GB and 3 Ha max)
Wise for you to check the formats of pupular tourneys

For BC Id only stay with no art and other than that build up from new because we dont know BC balance.

[The Mongol]

Hmm, I have actually never played a TW game multiplayer. I just might have to for BC.

Although I'll probably get rocked by the pro tacticians around here

[Orretje]

Perhaps someone knows how to set up a kind of chat room which you can enter if you want to play BC online? Maybe an MSN room with a password posted here on TWC to keep out non-gamers. And setting times to gather around would probably be necessary, with perhaps an American and European room to handle time zones.

BTW to avoid compatibility issues you could make a copy of a fresh BC install and try your own txt edits in a different folder.

Or even better... use xfire.

The fact that it works ingame and is far better for things like this is why you should use it. So long as your on xfire all the time you don't need meeting times for the most part... just play when people are on.

MSN is for chatting up uni students


Your local RTR MP veteran who is very much looking forward to BC multiplayer.

[Beauchamp]

lets start our own BC clan
We can be called "Primier Nazarbiev's Wrath/Kazakhstan Greatest TW Clan in whole of World"

[Darkarbiter]

Ehh that would be too exclusive... then 50% of the people would join it and if anyone new was checking out MP they might feel excluded if they don't want to join the official BC clan (or if their allready in a clan).

Sure start your own but an official BC clan will not be good for the community. I my clan will be expanding into BC when it's out defenitly.

Any comments on xfire v.s. msn?

[AlphaDelta]

We haven't attempted a BC multiplayer game so don't get your hopes up just yet.

Cheers

[Lupu]

OK, I still hope it will come out a good MP game of BC

The difference of factions and units looks perfect for MP

Suggestions:
If you make a flat map make it with changeable weather that CA hsnt done

Is it possible to make unit reaction faster as it was in Rome because it would be useful and fun for horse archery and fast paced tactics.

[Randarkmaan]

Well, as long as the contents of the "data"-folders are the same (with the exception of purely cosmetic changes, like a different skin or model for a unit, don't know about skeletons) It really should not be any problem. This is my experience from RTW, I don't expect it to be different in MTW2.

[firekiller]

xfire is good but whit mods you can not type wenn in game like in ather games

[Lupu]

That is annoyng with kingdom, it is made like a mod and xfire isnt activated in it

[Randarkmaan]

I think that a thing that would be useful for MP games (probably said in one of those clan/tournament-links) is to have a unit cost so that you can only afford a full army if you only pick low-quality units. So, if you play with 10 000 florins/dinars, the lowest quality unit would be around 300-400. If you can afford a large army of the best troops then that can often be very difficult to beat, simply because they are many and powerful (if the troops of the faction you use aren't as powerful as the ones of the faction you are facing, for an example, or if you like numbers... "arrowfodder" that is... :hmmm
