Any new players fancy multiplayer?

[Aezeal]

yeah you are probably right and to be honest my SP experience is even very limited so I'm probably worring to much most likely I'll be one of the weaker players.. only 2 real SP games actually

OK so I'll see about that game

Playing a lot of SP won't help you a ton in MP. There are several SP modes of play that teach bad habits.

What do you mean?

Like in SP its pretty easy to stop the majority of ai attacks simply by cranking your PD up high enough.
Thats generally not suggested in multiplayer .

125 pd WILL still be annoying for human players I'd imagine

[Shovah32]

You are correct there, however 125 pd is extremely expensive and would be MUCH better spent elsewhere - particularly since human players can make far better use of flight/stealth/magic movement.

It is good, but not good enough. Leave out the last ten points, and you just saved (124+114/2 *10) about 1190 gp. Use that to buy four or five mages. You can see which one is better, I hope. The turn-around point is somewhere between 20 and 50, depending on the quality of troops. If you get infantry, longbowmen and crossbow-wielding medium infantry like LA Man, 40 gp is still good if you really need it. Even if you only get few weak units, it might be worth it to go up to 30 or so to downplay your own casualties, e.g. when you're deep in enemy lands, or need time to reanimate your soulless reinforcements. However, 10 is plenty in most provinces, and anything over 30 is very situational.

Possibly, but most will simply ignore it, until they can send in a couple of thugs to wipe it out.

In MP, a large number of the very best players only have a PD of 1 or so in there provinces. They consider it a complete waste of money in MP play.
