Any Multiplayer at all?

[Einstine]

One persons review said "Multiplayer: Kind of"

So what does that mean?

You can just invade (or being invaded) by others players. No incidence in your game. So no, no multiplayer. And online vendetta or pitfight but same.

No interactive multiplayer. You can invade fortresses other players set up and they can invade fortresses you set up. You can also avenge other players that were killed.

Wow! Uh is there a way to turn off this feature?

[Mez Koo]

Why, it doesn't affect you at all afaik. I never did get into the shadow wars when I first played SoW but it sounded like it was mostly just a background thing where you can raid for loot and they can raid for loot but it doesn't actually affect anyone. I think its just an endless siege mode after you've taken all the single player forts.

The vendetta missions also give you better gear.

It is nothing like Dark Souls multiplayer if that is what you're thinking, no one is going to invade and take all your stuff.

Being invaded can be bad for the ego... but no incidence in YOUR game (wont have to retake castle and recruit new orcs. if you dont want to be invaded dont start to invade even once. But you cant avoid Overlord pitfight (but with all the Overlords around you have low chance to be a target.)

[Einstine]

Ah, so it really has no impact on YOUR game then.

Other than you being able to attack other fortresses for gear or orcs, no.

Does it even tell you if you someone raided a fortress? I don't see how ego has much to do with it since you don't have any control over it aside from placing upgrades and orcs. But the raider can make all the preparations to counter your strengths and they are a player versus AI, its not like you can actively defend your ego.

They tell you "x successfully invaded your castle". I know its only Ai job to protect the place but still, 3 successfull sieges in a row hit me in the balls^^. Specially when you have full powered castle and guy manage to get a gold, still dont know how they did back then-_-.
