do people play online?

A portion does but hot seat or single player is way more fun in a game like this in my opinion

[DasaKamov]

Of course.

Folks play and some have issues and some don't as far as I can tell. I'm tempted to play online for once, but i'll wait tell it sounds like sync bugs are mostly stomped out to play.

It is a really fun multiplayer game.

I have only played asynchronous turns, never simultaneous (the latter was broken at release; not sure about now.

No real bugs in asynchronous. Just won a Very Large map yesterday! Lasted to turn 100 or so.

No.
Giving up on multiplayer mode and multiplayer games was one of the better decision I ever made.
Exception being actual friends, not "steam friends".

Just gave a try to asynchronous game with 3 friends. Crash at turn 1, 2 players tried to battle vs neutral at the same time, game stay in "waiting for players".
The fix button, seems useless, turn is reload but still buggy.
Tried a 2nd game, still bugged in 1st turn.
Is it due to one of the player having an old computer ? I don't know but it's ridiculous that the game is still unfixed after 1 year and a half.
Great game, good idea on the multiplayer asynchronous, but they didn't try enough.

Edit : Tried a little more, we still have bugs but it's better...

I just tried to play with a friend online, and where i have all the expansions and he does not, when i am creating game it softlocks in first turn, usually when one of us engages in combat. Then we can click stuff, but can't move units or even end turn. Simultaneous turn was toggled on. Maybe that is the problem. Will test more later. But when he creates the game it seems to be working.

I play only with friends and its awesome

[PsychoDD]

Online is so broken its almost unplayable. Me and my friends have endless syncronization problems.

[Ananym]

People (try to) play online, some groups end up with a barely tolerable experience, some do not

[Serbal]

I play online with friends in long games and never had problem, we play with clasic turn tho.

[VoiD]

Only with friends

Online works quite well for me and my buddies. (Based in Europe) We have some desync from time to time or 1 or 2 times the end round button didn't work but then we just reset to the previous round. No biggie, the multiplayer of total war is much rougher in comparison.

[steelwork]

it seems like the smaller the map, the better the perf online.
to avoid getting many desyncs you must have everyone with at least a good fibre connection and avoid as much as possible manual combat...
