I still didn't try out MP in this game and the main reason is the standard speed of the game (I play 1.5 so I can manage my units over the map) and the AI.
As with starcraft I/II the winner of the game is not the strategic/tactical superior player but the one with the best "clicking" skill (I watched some youtube movies for that conclusion). This game is a bit better then starcraft but still the difference is there so I highly doubt it'll be enjoyable for someone like me.
If the AI would be improved on some points I mentioned then maybe more tactical/strategic players stand a chance. Up till then I'll live with my 50 hours per skirmish game (heroic difficulty is a "real nasty female"

)
