Multiplayer - Co-op?

[Connatic]

Is the multiplayer only for Battles, or can you play that campagin-strategy map mode with others?

You can have a two-player coop campaign. (max 2, though).

It works well and is great fun. :)

Co-op as in you just help control units in the same army, or your own faction to manage?

each plays their own faction. In battles you can also give units to your co-op partner so you can play the campaign battles together.

Both?...execellent!

You can choose two factions to play. Now, one unique thing with TWW compared to others is that you have factions with limited terrains they can capture. If you team up, say, Vampire Counts and Greenskins, VC's can only capture flatlands while Greenies can only capture mountains and badlands - so you end up without competing for the same terrain, too. That tends to help make things more relaxed, if you prefer that. (Or you can play VC's and Empire and compete for territory instead).

As Heinz234 mentions, in battles you can give units to your teammate from your army, so you both control units in the battle. It's very useful, because that means there's no downtime, and sometimes it helps to have an extra hand.I tend to give roughly half the army and make sure to include some of the more special units - or fewer units but more micromanagement intensive, like cavalry.

Not all factions are equally coop friendly, though. But overall, the game is one of the better coop games.

Co op is really amazing if u play with say ur family or someone living under the same roof.

Its super fun, u can both be orks with 1 using grimgor and the other wuzzag. Or beastman with chaos which both share chaos corruption.

Yeah, the campaign would be something I'd only play with someone I know. Does this also support "verses" mode then? Play against other players in the campaign layout?

Yes it does. It is called "head to head" and then you'll have the option to have the other player control the armies you are fighting against.

I am thinking about getting the game now that it is on special, I have always been a fan of the total war series, I hope I can get the game soon and while I am on vacation I can install it and play it, because I am also a fan of the dawn of war series. I hope yall are having fun on TWW.

I also hope that they would make a total war game based on the lord of the rings and the hobbit movies instead of the mods
