San Francisco Event Questions: ANSWERED !!

[alQamar]

hi there as talked I have a couple of questions aswell mainly targeting on the non campaign part of the game, hopefully we can get answers to it, as this part of the game has been ignored a lot compared to the campaign:

classical non campaign multiplayer

Chat
1. is there a chat lobby again where you can see all people online around the world like in Rome 1
1.1 will we have a PID system in that or able to open Steam account pages again?
1.2 Unlike to Rome 1 is permanent blocking possible?

Game mode
2. Is there a free for all (FFA) game mode (scored resolution instead of last man standing) like Prince of Macedon plays and posts Rome 1 videos on his Youtube channel?

Matchmaking
3.1 Are there still matchmade battles possible, even though the Avatar campaign now out or can we just host via battle list again like before Shogun 2?
3.2 Can we can setup the daylight and weather again if we use matchmade battles?

Veterans
4. Whats about veteran units, can they be skilled and saved like in S2 or is this classicly done with chevrons like in previous TW games?

Money
5. Can we now choose again money per player or team like in Medieval 2 / Rome 1, or are the funds fixed amounts again?

Formations
6. What formations are available for units itself (despite from the seen Testudo, Phalanx)?


Would be great if we can get answers on this also urgent questions.
