Hopes for more players on the Campaign Map

**stradar1** · July 22, 2012, 11:27 PM

Has anyone wished for more players for the multiplayer Grand Campaign?? I think this is the time to make it possible for 4 players to play on a Grand Campaign....I have tons of friends who have for ages wanted to get in on my multiplay campaigns but couldnt becuase of the 2 player only restriction.......Who thinks they might turn to exspanding the multiplayer slots for the Grand Campaign for Rome 2 I HOPE!!! so badly!!! this is a MUST HAVE for multi..

I totally agree with you!

I would like MANY players on a MMO campaign map .. but considering the desync problems with S2TW, etc, I think i would prefer a R2TW-MMO to be a seperate game to R2TW. First get Rome 2 working properly .. tHEN look at multiplayer.

Still not impossible Ive only ran into slight amounts of desyncs in most of my online campaigns....Ive played hundreds of turns before ever running into a desync and allso its easily fixed by shareing a small saved game file so its not a issue....Im not asking for 32 players on a campaign just at leasts 4 players!!!

Yeah being able to do 2-4 players would be great. I've had quite a few moments where a bunch of friends of mine wanted to play together, but did not want to do the 2v2 classic or avatar battles. After all the updates that added desync fixes i was finally able to finish a coop campaign the other day without a single desync, so if they are able to import the system to Rome II with all the fixes, and add more player slots then it would be great.

I would like even have 8 different players but the campaign was barely playable with one because of constant quits of peopleor internet falloff that prevented yoou to rejoin the campaign.... It should allow ai replacement and when someone looks forma campaign to join allow people tonreplace an ai even in middle of a campaign ... Or allow the player that started with friends and all have left to complete the campaign if he wants and get the achievement the same ...

And what do you do when two huge armies meet on the campaign map? Does the third player spectate the game, which might very well take an hour or two?

**Rorarii** · July 23, 2012, 06:52 AM

My vision for multiplayer is MMO for 2 enemies only - Rome V Carthage, 4-8+ players per side, if a huge battles happens, all the roman players and all Carthaginian players are invited to join the fight (yeah I know, very unhistorical) as commanders and sub commanders. Or if a player doesn't want to, they can sit it out (walk the dog)

This system only works for 2 sides unfortunately ...

I know you people have big ideas for multiplayer, especially the campaign - which is cool, I want 4 or more players too, but I for one really want the old Rome battle system back. For a typical 1v1 it would be just you, your picked army and the upgrades you gave to their equipment (all available there from the first battle, no advancement, no special bonuses or retainers) pitched against your enemy who has done the same as you. Than the difference will be only in the skill of the players, the way they pick their armies and the way they handle themselves on the battlefields. No more rank system that favour players, no more special unlocks, bonuses and retainers to give you advantages during battles. None of that. Just you, your army against your enemy and his army. Simple, efficient and straightforward.

thats the Avatar system what were asking for here is the campaign to be Exspanded to 2v2 4vAI 1v1v1v1 is all we need

Update lets keep talking about this it needs to be done

**stradar1** · July 24, 2012, 10:43 AM

Another thing Id like to add about how 4 player campaigns would work is this......After like lets say 3 hours of the campaign with my bro and 2 other friends and lets say a battle with my bro and the AI I dont mind sitting back haveing a nice ice cold cola while watching the battle go on I dont mind watching battles becuase it gives u a chance to witness epic battles without haveing to take part like watching a movie!!!......And if ur a true Total war fan and love the campaigns anyone who does a 4 player campaign will know this game will take time and not complain about it..
