    Default Multiplayer Campaign still only 2 players (SOURCE)

    http://us.download-store.sega.com/es...me-2-3418.html

    Below "Game Features" this is what it says:

    "Plan your conquest of the known world in a massive sandbox turn-based campaign mode (supporting additional 2-player cooperative & competitive modes). Conspiracies, politics, intrigue, revolts, loyalty, honour, ambition, betrayal. Your decisions will write your own story."


    Oh and for those who didn't see, heres more info on the Greek factions.

    Gee, maybe people with friends?

    I hope this gets up to at least 4 players, I don't know why it's only 2?

    I really can't believe how CA fails to see how important it is for people to be able to play with their friends their favourite games. At least to have the option to do that.

    I agree with you guys. I was looking forward to playing this with three friends over LAN or Online..

    Lets only hope they give us a 4-player campaign DLC.

    How would you handle the down time of a 4 player game? This has always been the core of the problems. What happen when there's a battle? what do the other guys do? ? I do not think CA will up the players participated in the same campaign until this can be solved.
    Never argue with an idiot, cuz they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience

    Doesn't matter, MPC are usually played between friends. They can wait. I know my friends would be willing to wait.

    This. I actually enjoy spectating my friends' battles or talking to them during their turn about what is going on. These days I play TW almost exclusively in MP Campaign with my best friend (extremely modified games that only we have similar mods for, mind you) so the concerns about random people losing interest in 4 player campaigns doesn't really concern us. Would have been nice to have the option.. but I suppose it'll just be the two of us again.

    As caissus, MPCs are almost always between friends (I've never played one with a random myself) and therefore you usually have the patience to wait because you know that they are not gonna quit like a random perhaps would.

    When I and my friend played Napoleon MPCs we mostly just tabbed out of the game to read or watch something if the other was taking long and there were not problems with that.

    Just because something isn't perfectly suited for something doesn't mean it shouldn't be an option for those who want it. Especially as they already have the core mechanics and could easily increase the amount of players. And regards to battles there could still be the option to autoresolve them as existed in Napoleon, but I know that if I would play with my friends we would just wait for the two(or more) players to finish.

    What! MP is badass and a proper challenge, while single player is fun you truly don't learn how to play until you've fought a couple hundred mp battles with human players.

    You do the same thing you always do when you hang with your bros, you talk **** about each other in the steam voice chat.

    I would be hugely, hugely disappointed if it was only 2 players. But it seems to be that way. I kinda expected it, but still pretty disappointed.
