Or perhaps I understood it wrong and there will be age classifications?

Me neither.
Wouldn't you just buy TW:R2 and play that multiplayer (if you wanted a multiplayer TW)? The only advantage I could see if you can battle different time periods - and then it'd have to go with a TF2 approach and be $20.

it appears to me more rome 2, rather than total war arena

I guess the thread can be closed, after its not an image of the arena and it is not even a screenshot,

I'm just now checking to see if the thread title can be changed, so that I don't mislead people.

Title is now changed. You should also be able to change it yourself if you are the OP and click on the "Go Advanced" option when editing a post, there is a box there to change thread title.

Haha, okay. Thanks.

Or double click the title on the main thread page.

Sounds like my coursework. Early phase, early phase, early phase, deadline, feck, feck.

He was talking about Arena. Obviously.

Anyway im Norwegian and the article have some new info:

- 3 units each in 10 vs 10 battles.
- Each player have a specific role, one will for example deal with archers and others with cavalry ect. The cooperation between the different players will be decisive. (This turned the whole concept around for me, you'll basically be an officer in charge of a part of an army, which sounds pretty awesom to me from a co-op perspective)
- One example is that you can decide exactly when your archer-volleys are released.
- There will be micro-transactions. CA hopes for a large player-base.
- Units are not restricted to specific squares any more, one unit can wrap itself around another for example, and you can also control individual soldiers with precision.
- Individual soldiers will now have health-bars.

Thats it. Feel free to include this in the OP and change the title to "New screenshot and info".

On the tw.com they made a separate forum for Arena discussions. There are already many topics unraveling there. Maybe as more info comes out a TW Arena forum should be created here aswell.

I'd like that quite a bit.

**G-Spike** · April 04, 2013, 05:23 PM

**emotion_name** · April 04, 2013, 05:41 PM

Im interested, i have to say, at least for now. Have to see how it pans out when we get some more solid info!

**Border Patrol** · April 05, 2013, 01:19 AM

Are we looking at a pre-gunpowder/prototypical gunpowder era version of World in Conflict, or is this going to be more hero based? Either way, I'll be keeping an eye on this. Sounds cool.

Bahaha! No way man! Totally closer to World in Conflict and nowhere near hero based multiplayers. This is TW man, not Warcraft 3 with DotA.
