Can you just set up a multiplayer match 1 vs 1 without ...

without doing the whole campaign capture Provence thing.

I was hoping to simple go into multiplayer, find someone, set a budget and then buy a full army and fight them. Have I missed this or do I have to play the provence thing?

Don't get me wrong I think it is a good idea, and it helps you fight people on your skill level... however I want to dive right into playing a full match with a mate.

You thinking of making a Custom battle against the A.I. with your friend? I don't think there is an option like that in Shogun 2. At least I haven't found it. But I really wished it was there. Me and my buddy want to practice a bit together, so Co-op Custom Battle would be perfect.

Don`t have high hopes in it though cause nobody will join. Because of a filter and visibility bug plus decentralised servers nobody will be able to see the classical battles unless they put the filter on "classical battle" what nobody does because nobody knows.

But maybe in future, who knows...

Good evening to you sir

I tried it out yesterday. I don't get it to work. Me and my buddy on the same team, against A.I. I can't choose what the A.I. should have, and I can't start the battle.

No you can't fight the AI together, OP was asking about 1v1.

Oh, my bad

But are we supposed to be able to fight against the A.I. together in Classical Battle? (Just that it is bugged atm). A bit stupide that we need to make a co-op campaign to be able to train together
