Introduction and question.

Thank you Tricon, your tips are very appreciated. I'll check these links and I'll let you know my impressions on those guys. The only problem with "finding a good game" is that it's hard to tell with unfamiliar players if it will be good one or not before you start playing, and once it start it's usually too late to join for other people.

But I'll definetly keep you posted.

It's strange that this forum does not seem to be very active in MP field. While I was lurking here I was under impression that many people were playing SP mostly to check different races and strategies and prepare themself for MP. Maybe I was wrong.

Regards,
Stormbinder

Honestly, I think there are a lot of "multiplayers" among us. But it kind of gets lost in the forum. IMO we cold use a general topic, multiplayer and maybe an AAR section. But maybe we're just too few in number (and a PBEM section already exists- though not very frequented).

But give it a bit of time. The number of dom2 is "exploding" right now, as you may have noticed in the past two months of lurking. However most just got their games and first want to get to know the game beforventuring out to the MP community. (I can relate... that's what I did when I got into EU II - - lurking in the forum, started posting, but never got around to play with the really interesting EUII "family"... but then again I had my own small MP group for EU II)

So , I definately think the action will pick up. Especially in PBEM.

(I, too, can't wait to cross spells with some of the people here.... two more weeks... then the chaos that is work should be back to normal)

LOL, I can relate to it as well - I was doing the same thing on EU2 forums.

In fact I've been playing EU2 for more than a year in SP before I registered on thier forums and started playing it in MP. Maybe I am just "naturally born lurker".

But I always tend to sharpen my teeths on AI before starting to play vs human opponents. For me it's like preparations before real battle, although in case of EU2 it was somewhat different, since I was enjoying it so much in SP that I didn't feel much preasure to try MP.

Norfleet started a MP game earlier this evening, that was announced a week in advance in this thread. Norfleet and Zen both run MP games almost every weekend, which are announced on this forum.

Duh! I saw that thread earlier but since it was so long (6 pages by now) I assumed it was refering to some game long in progress like many other threads and didn't check it. I guess I should be more careful in the future.

Oh well, perhaps next time. Do you think Zen or Norfleet going to start another game next weekened?

Regards,
Stormbinder

Well ... have you considered sending them PM and asking them?
