Well, next multiplayer campaign will have a new gamemode called Warlords
The idea is that players are able be lords with their armies (they can choose be elite troops without troops too), in a type of game where they lead their troops.
In the testing we have done, with the invaluable help of clan Tercio, we saw that the land, the type of troops we choose, the money we have to invest in them were very important factors. But the tactics of each team were most important for winner in the battle.
For example, in one case, one team (Team 1) use one of their lords (with his troops) to attract the attention of the enemy (Team 2, consisting of 2 lords with their troops and other player with a champion).
While the lure attracted the enemy player, the rest of Team 1, used to flank and attack the enemy's rear, won the battle.
In other cases, the players took to hide their cavalry behind hills, as they advanced with the infantry into a defensive position, making the enemy believe that they were outnumbered and suspicious for combat. When the enemy advanced on them, confident of victory, received a cavalry charge from the rear.
Cases like these, with the most varied strategies, it happened in the days of testing.
It's time to go re-read your book of sun tzu.
For some basic information about both types of player troops can choose, I post here game panel about this gamemode:
Too, you can choose be a dena captain (and lead dena pirates), a Frank Mercenary Lord (with your franks warriors), or lead scoti invasors, Frisian mercenaries, or cantabrian veteran soldiers.
Multiplayer! This is a pleasant surprise coming back to the forums to see multplayer was added. Warlords sounds great, I can't wait to play it.
