Thank you for your responses guys. Heh, this board is moving fast - I guess CMBB sales have very well so far - I hope they'll get enough money quickly to design CM2 into something groundbreaking - the way they did with CMBO when it come out. (Not that CMBB is not great -it is excellent but it is clearly an evolution , not a revolution - from the technical point of view.) Ciks - thans for the info, bookmarked. About the game - I could play PBEM game I think, but it will probably take a very long time to finish, correct? Let's say 1 turn per day, 20 turns - it would take about 3 weeks to complete single game, right? I am curious - are people playing CM mostly by PBEM or IP games? Sg. Emren - LOL, I saw a few treads about Peng. I think I saw first one more than a year ago. I think they are some kind of in-house joke, right? To everybody who responded with links and tips - thanks a lot, I'll check all these sites. Frankly I didn't expected to be so many guilds a ladders. The divesity is a good sign, but what is the best (most active, have best ladder rules, have most players) ladder out there? :confused:

Greetings. My name is Storm Binder and I've been lurking in these forums for quite a long time. Although I've never posted here I have to say that the people around CM seem to be much more mature and intelligent that in any other game crowd that I've seen so far. Probably it has something to do with the heavy historical theme of the game, as well as the status of underdog and diamond-in-the-row that CMBO so rightfully enjoyed. Anyway I've received CMBB about a week ago and the excellent quality of this game forced my to break my silence. I've played about half-dozen scenarios and while it's ton of fun to play against new improved AI , I am sure that playing against good human opponents should be even better. Therefore here are my questions: Are there any multiplayer CMBO/BB Guild or League - to allow people quickly find opponents from guild memebers who are online? Are there any official or non-official ladder system? Are there any tourments around? And what is the best way to find good opponents to play this great game against? P.S. Few words about myself - I've played CMBO a lot against AI with 50% bonus troops. Still since I have no MP experiencce in this game I'll probably get my butt kicked first few times if I meet really tough combat veteran in battle. However I learn very fast and I really enjoy playing with strong opponents - and will do my best to give them a run for their money. So if somebody would like to play MP game with me let me know and we'll set it up. [ October 01, 2002, 06:53 AM: Message edited by: Storm Binder ]
