How healthy is the multiplayer scene?

Am tired of buying strategy games to have the multiplayer scenes die on me :'(

Not that big, you get a game in 3min... Play right times and you can have awsome 4v4 battles (bigger is possible, but we try to avoide it usally, since it's easier) we get new feuatures regullary, next is replays, the mod support when it's there will be amazing dou to the engine is great.. new units soon, so doubt it will die now...

Is there a semi-competitive scene with a ranked system or is it fairly casual through a lobby browser interface? (Or both)

[WarWolf]

We get or has got, casual mode (same queue as ranked just no ranks, I think) it's semi competativ I would say, we have a ranked system which is decent...

I suggest getting it. From what I see the multiplayer scene is growing. They're adding things like replays which should help MP grow more too.

There is:

Ranked play - 10 tiers or so, you play and move down to tier 1. The best of the best are rank 1-20 or something and not part of a tier. So it's competitive in the same was as any other games really.

Casual match making - This is new, but I assume it just finds you a match with people around your skill level as does ranked but it has no impact on ranked.

Custom - You can make your own lobby and invite/wait for players to come in. Game supports 14 player maps so it can get crazy. You can add AI's to these games if you don't get as many players as you like or wanna do a comp-stomp.

Above rank 1 is gold it's a elo system there I think, was there before reset of rank (will get there when I play some more ranked)
