This was posted on the daily updates page at totalwar.com for those who mabye haven't ventured there in a bit .
Why should I be excited about Warpath?
In all honesty, my favourite thing about Warpath is that it's like 'old Total War versus new Total War'. You start out with axes, horses and bowmen and you must fight against cannon and musket. It's really great to play the two styles agianst one another, plus the new Native American tech tree and agents make for some interesting tactics.
Where the bl**dy hell is the multiplayer campaign beta?
It's also about to go into our public beta group, just behind Warpath, so it's not long now. And it's proving to be great fun. We've held onto the beta for a while in order to implement all the AI changes, so that when you and a friend (Or enemy) get your hands on it, it's really a fun experience. And we're almost there. Of course as it's a beta, it won't be perfect, but the intention is to have as many of you experience it as you wish and feedback via these forums.
Hopefully this has addresed a few of the regular issues appearing here.
Thank you all for your constructive feedback, we listen to what's said politely and it's nice to hear many of you are enjoying Patch 1.4. The next one is even better...
Yeah, I got it all working, but I have nobody to play with. You need someone reliable as these are pretty long term games, especially if you have unlimited turn times, which you need for a decent game tbh.
its pretty buggy and unplayable right now. Game randomly crashes and freezes, extreme slowdowns for no reason(both players had good connections) but once they get that stuff sorted out it could have promise.
The MP beta could seriously do with a Spectator mode, theres just some battle that I really don't want to play, and that my playing partner really does want to play (ie to finish of a broken army). Or naval battles, which I hate!
