    I may be too optimistic but in this screenshot there is a chat lobby and separate rooms for multiplayer campaign so maybe the tab for the battle list (I assume this is the standard list of multiplayer battles) also has a chat lobby (or the same chat lobby). The chat lobby in the screenshot looks like it is pre selecting a game and so it must be a public chat lobby. Now we just need centralised servers confirmed.

    Very nice find! I prey God now your words to be true! Game Lobby Chat and centralised servers-these r the main features ,which Multiplayer community misses with ETW and needs in NTW! Hope Ca has listened to hundreds of Multiplayer fans...

    Personally I dont think we will see centralised servers with steam. Steam uses decentralised servers to make downloads quicker. steam lives from that. a centralised server system would be completely against their business idea. What might be an option would be a virtual link between the servers where NTW is used on (maybe like we saw it in ETW where you could see games from those who are in your friendslist or same steamgroup). I dont see this coming though.

    About chat it would be more than necessary however I can only see a kind of chatversion for the mp campaign mode. this doesnt necessarily mean its available for the casual mp lobby too. also the whole chatsystem doesnt necessarily has to be the same like we used to have it on gamespy. last but not least even the ingamechat of etw was bugged like hell, prechat in army setup not available at release.

    we shall see after release. I have a big question list to be answered by reasonable long time TW MP players to be answered and convinces me before I will even consider purchasing TW. If MP is in a shoddy, broken and completely unfinished state and doesnt even provide a grassy flat map for competitive gaming like ETW till 1.4/1.5 I and many of my mates wont.

    I like this picture better and its more telling

    Read a napoleonic first hand account of a Hessian serving under the french flag

    Athenians: For ourselves, we shall not trouble you with specious pretenses - either of how we have a right to our empire because we overthrew the Mede, or are now attacking you because of wrong that you have done us- and make a long speech which would not be believed;.......... since you know as well as we do that right, as the world goes, is only in question between equals in power, while the strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must.

    Part of the Melian Dialogue in The History of the Pelopenessian War by Thucydides.

    Creative Assembly are masters of creating the illusion that there will be certain awesome (or industry standard) features that are in fact completely missing, let's not forget.

    The last picture doesn't tell much because this was already available in the MPC beta for Empire. In this chat room only the two people who are in the lobby can talk to each other. However the first picture look like something new, it seems that you can create different chat rooms for your clan mates etc.

    Crap. I just observed that East Prussia's borders are f**ed up. No historical accurate Duchy of Warsaw
