What news do you want?

[Voltare]

Now that the website has launched, and they will be updating it with news as they approach shipping the game. We know that Videos and Shop are coming soon, but what do you think should be coming soon?

I would like to know more about non-gameplay related things like:
How does setting up a multiplayer game work? Does the game search for a game for you or do you create a game and wait for the amount of players that you want?
Is there going to be rankings?
Will there be custom games or is the only multiplayer going to be the one you told us about?
Can you play with people on other regions or are you stuck only with players from your region?
What does the HUD look like?
Can I talk to other players while playing?
Is there a minimap?
What is the Fog of War like?

Also I would like some more info on player-player pacts, we haven't got a lot of info on those.

Feel free to post what you would like them to update the news with.

I'd like to know a little more about the towns/regions you control like;
How does the economy work
what kind of buildings are available/what effects
can you add buildings yourself, or do you need to make pacts to get access to areas with the buildings you need. (Mills, Bridges, Food production)
can you sabotage said buildings, or the construction sites
and so much more...

well just about everything i want to know has been added already lol, but mainly i want to know the balance between building your towns and diplomacy vs war. i am a builder mainly, example Total War series i always build up to max forces before i begin to conquer and i usually leave any enemies with at least 1/3 of their towns because i hate the thought of being the only large player in the game. lol i like a challenge so i would hope the AI will be intelligent and at the very least not act randomly and declare war on me or other AI just for the fun of it. (i get betrayls and that stuff) i refer to the faction with 1 town declaring war on the biggest faction that is across the map for no purpose

I don't think that you build towns, if I understand the info that Cyanide has released then all the towns and castles are already out on the map already. You go out and make alliances with them and have them send gold back to you. I am also interested in how the AI will act, how will it imitate being paranoid? Will it systematically send out envoys to its own towns to check their alliance or what?

Man, I am so eager to get some new info on this game!

the AI is definatly going to make or break the game with so much focus on diplomacy. i cant recall the special unit that attaches itself to a city and sends back gold to your town from an enemy. but will the computer actually be smart enough to notice that missing income? little things like that can make a difference. otherwise a player could simply make 20 of them and be the only player with gold

I'd like to know something about the prestige points, how did yuo get them(appart from making aliances and having the septons temples ), how you discover a bastard and that sort of things... and the system for laying siege to towns to.
Well, in fact, i'd like to know so much things about this game that anything would be great !!
