Status: offline 		I keep getting beat up by the AI when I am Allies. I have spent the past several hours as the CP, restarting several times to get the hang of it. I get to about the time the Turks start then I restart to keep experimenting. I am not winning, but it seems easier to deal with I guess because you start with better forces. I am sure that catches up later on.

Anyone interested in a match with me as CP? If you insist on CP, that is okay with me.

I am unsure of my schedule because I am a PBEMer. This new system requires us to know our schedule.

Good luck

Does this multiplayer system not work like Slitherine's other matchmaking games, where you do you turn, then submit it, and the next player does their turn when they have time?

Does this game require both players to be online at the same time to play?

I thought it was like Conflict of Heroes (PBEM++) where you both had to be on-line and watch each other's turns? I never did understand what that ++ stuff meant.

Thank you in advance.

How about another match with me as Allies - 11/19/2012 1:43:49 AM

Status: offline 		I am having a very enjoyable game with Hideous with me as the CP. I am getting my butt handed to me because of constant encirclements by Hideous, but this game keeps you focused and because there are not a lot of units, you can get a turn completed in less than 10 minutes. I am giving this game a massive thumbs up.

With that said, is anyone up for a Match with me as the Allies? I would like to see how I can do with them.


PS - The multiplayer works flawlessly.

It always seems when playing multiplayer that 'the other guy' is doing better in your estimating than in his own! At least it seems that way to me, my brother and I just got a game going and it seems that way to me!

Status: offline 		That could be true, but I suck at both Entente and CP. It is not the game, it is me.

I think I am getting old. I cannot believe I am getting double-whopped.

Game is very very cool. Good luck in your multi-player
