			<description>Dear All, 



We're pleased to announce that we'll be releasing five new multiplayer maps with the upcoming 1.5 Patch. 

These maps are to mark the release of Warpath on the same day and are a thank you for the communities continued support. 



To be clear these maps are free with the 1.5 patch, you don't need to purchase Warpath to enjoy them. 



The maps are: 



• Grassy Flatlands - This is a flat, balanced map designed for competetive/tournament play. 

• Austrian Pinnacles -  ...</description>

In our game....two campers sat at redline area on high ground, artillery lined up, infantry behind stakes.



Our cavalry would have been slaughtered by stakes and guns if charging and our units were being shot to pieces with the shrapnel glitch.  They say both sides can use it but we failed to get to reach even half way to their units. </description>

			<description>We’re friends, so I got to tell you the truth right?



Well, the truth in my humble opinion is that Empire Total War looks to be pretty much the best damn game that Creative Assembly has come out with yet! 



It is awesome, incredible, and fabulous, worth every penny you can manage to squeeze out to get the best machine you can, with the best graphics you can manage.



Just my personal opinion mind you, but playing this game in the Total War mode, it handles very much like MTW/VI, but  ...</description>

Nice one CA....the 14 new units....that are supposed to make the factions even better to play with you now have to PAY FOR.  Yep £1.99. A small amount admitted but this is still a liberty. No mention of having to pay for them in all the hype that we have been given about the new patch.



Went to test that the patch had installed successfully....all the games are now not compatable with my version. So it appears no-one else has had  ...</description>

It explains a workaround for the MP lack of a good, working Lobby.



There is no List of players...no Lobby chat and no private chat in the actual lobby, just a list of games that are available to join.

You will need to create a list of friends and join a group chat to get the other windows that are shown. These windows can be toggled on/off by pressing shift/tab together.

It does work.  ...</description>

			<description>Steam, in place of GameSpy, is needed for playing E:TW MP



This is a free download (approximately 2MB) from  HERE  It has its own windows installer.

You have to create a username, email address, password etc for logging on to Steam to play.

In the same way that you had to create a profile for GameSpy 



I will see if I can find some more information on how you 'Log on' etc etc and report back.   </description>

So many Total War eras, so many Clan and association memberships, so many monikers, I am not sure what to do next.



I do believe that Empire will have the absolute best multiplayer ever (at least in the long run).



So then a plan…



What I am proposing may or may not sit well with any or all here, but I must propose it and risk offending some or all of you, because it is the future that I see.



I would like you all to consider the suggestion that we now  ...</description>
