Is Empire at War going to contain a good multiplayer part? Because frankly iam not going to buy it if its just singel player.. and after b&w2 iam very skeptical about producers saying yes there will a multiplayer option in interviews and then releasing it without multiplayer, because they need money for a another game?!

 

Iam really looking forward to Empire at War, but without a very good multiplayer mode i dont think its worth it.

 

So do you guys know anything about it? if it will be only skirmishes like Rome Total War or a more C&C based skirmish? Or even if one can play with allot of star systems and fight the battles like in Imperium Galactica: Alliances?

 

And if this has been posted before please write a link.

 

Thanks

Petro is working with GameSpy on a solution for multiplayer.

 

Sorry, I am too lazy to search a link for it but u may want to use the search.

We don't officially know if it will have multi-player,. and if it does we don't officially know what it will use. I'm also too lazy to find a link.

Is Empire at War going to contain a good multiplayer part?

 

 

I sure hope so, since I helped design most of it.

Hope it has direct IP which Battlefront 2 doesn't Battlefront 2 and BFME 2 Beta both contain Gamespy, its good but it doesn't contain direct IP for quick joins and private ones.

 

Ya i'm also waiting for the promised Skirmish and multiplayer patch for Black and White 2. They should have had it in the game already or at least have a patch released recently. If they aren't going to release it they shouldn't have promised it. Ruining a good game to

I hope so, too. Even you made a part of the multiplayer.

if you had looked around a little you would have seen the game has sevral modes for MP 1 is the map system 1v1 with 8+ planets.

 

And then a 8 player skirmish map.

Empire at War will DEFINATELY have a multiplayer, man. It's been confirmed, double confirmed, and triple confirmed. I personally can't wait to go up against one of my clan members in a Galactic Conquest, and team up on the 8 player skirmishes.

 

ITS GONNA BE AWESOME!!!!

 

P.S. I just got Black and White 2 for Christmas, and I agree with you guys, it's a great game already, but multiplayer could have added a lot to the experience.

OMEGA is right, the muliplayer has been confirmed and from what ive been told it will be very very good. Hope i can get on with dial up, doubt it but if i can ill see you there.

Thanks for the replies.

 

The multiplayer sure sounds nice.

I would never have bought it if i knew it didnt contain multiplayer, i dont really have time to throw villagers around all day. The battles of B&W2 wasnt that great either, and i hate convert spells... oh very fun battle, all of my soldiers were converted and nobody died...

Theres a brief multiplayer outline in a recent Q&A I did. Link in my sign

Nope - I don't think so I personaly waited for you to have the honor to copy/paste it .... from what I remember.

The average we have here for a 5 planet campaign multiplayer game is about an hour. The largest one has about 25 planets - I could see that one lasting a week with two good players. You can save multiplayer games in progress of course.

silly thing wouldn't quote....o well. Heres an average for multiplayer games for campaign.
