release date has being pushed back a month to add multiplayer support for campaign mode!!!

Earlier this week we reported that Empire: Total War, the highly anticipated PC RTS game from The Creative Assembly and Sega, would have a slight delay in its previous February 2 release date. The new date is now for sometime in early March. However a new development in the game has been revealed and it's indirectly because of the game's delay.

On the official Total War message boards, Creative Assembly team member Mark O'Connell announced, "Significantly the additional time will also allow us to implement the underlying technology for a much desired feature (thanks to your feedback!); a multiplayer campaign mode. An opportunity to participate in the 1 versus 1 multiplayer campaign mode beta will be made available to all Empire Total War buyers post release." This will be the first time in the Total War series that a game will have any kind of multiplayer campaign mode. No other info on this new feature has been announced.

Got the demo through steam , its a bit slow to load, but its great so far. Ive pre-ordered the box though , its a big game and I like to have these things on disk. Highlanders advancing with a piper and bayoneting rebelling colonials is joyous :D The naval battle is a bit tricky though.
