if they do not screw it up like RTW 2. they oversimplified it for the masses, and even removed coop battle (maybe just for more than three - not sure if two can coop vs ai). Gator, SB and myself have it - we have hardly played it.

maybe they 'fixed' that stuff in a later patch or the community was able to add it back in?

found a pc gamer preview/interview:

“It’s multiplayer, is where we’re taking the game and doing something very different,” says Mike. “Multiplayer has always been a bit lower down the priority list for Total War. We did the multiplayer campaign, but there’s a lot more scope for doing interesting things.”

“I guess our aim is to get to a point where the majority of people who buy the game routinely play multiplayer.” Laughing, he adds, “I really, really want to talk about this a lot but I’m not being allowed to.”

“To try covering the point that Mike desperately wants to cover,” laughs Kieran, “it’s safe to say that there is a major multiplayer innovation in the works, which we haven’t nailed down yet.”

“It’s not unambitious,” ends Mike.
