So on 4/24, at around 9:15 PM CST I download the latest update, and decide to try multiplayer for the first time. I choose "Skirmish".
Connecting is smooth and painless.
Game starts within 1 minute.
And we realize that while the light side has 2 players, the forces of dark have none. I don't mean they have no human players; there are NO dark demigods on the map at all.
So I'm thinking there are still some kinks to be worked out.
But the important thing is, we didn't lose...that would have been kinda embarrassing.
