People dont usually use mods to go MP with them (this is something that I dont understand) and they miss a really enjoyable and interesting part of Total war gaming. And when comes to EB which is by far the most documented ,accurate and diverse mod out there, online battles are reaching another level. Furthermore EB online comunity has balanced the game for MP (units stats, maps etc) so now each faction is dezirable and redoubtable. This was also achieved with some clever army composition and fair play rules. This was the result of continous feedback of the players.
Speaking the EB online comunity this is quite old. There are some old timer that are very experienced with the mod but also newbies which are treated with the same respect. We play in LAN using Hamachi virtual private network where we set the matches and discuss strategy ,history, in fact everything. Unlike the usual MP scene which is often quite rowdy, hostile and rude EB is a more pleasant way to have fun and gather experience while going online. Here players exchange advices, play just for fun and passion for miliyary history , they stick to fair play rules etc.
The usual EB online season is during summer when there are naturally more people willing to have some online fun. Those months have all the crazyness: team battles (2vs2, 3vs3 or larger) are on daily agenda, we reenact historical battles, we hold tournaments etc.
Here are 2 channels with skilfullly commented battles which is just a small part of all the fun we got then.
