No, multiplayer in Red Tide is not planned.

why?

Possible reasons I can think of not adding MP:

Perhaps, as a guess, Red Tide is supposed to be completely historical.
Perhaps, moderation of a second MoW multiplayer will be difficult.
Problems adding multiplayer

The main reason I think is is because it is Men of War: Red Tide
In Men of War, there are sides such as Germany vs Russia. It wouldn't really be a Red Tide if you could play as the Germans. Plus landing missions seem difficult to create for a MP game.

I can see a few reasons why MP isn't added, but why is there no editor?

Maybe if you dont set a MP you can add the coop part ?
In my opinion Red Tide missions are greater and more interessting than MOW missions, i would like to play them with my teamates. We are fans !

If you use the same game engine i think you can do it easily ?

I think it is fine as a SP only release. Future work on the project should be focusing on fixing bugs and balancing the game. But that's just my opinion.

It might be simple to add in multiplayer and co-op but there is already another MoW expansion in development which will be focusing on co-op and MP. People often forget this.
If Red Tide had everything the old MoW had, then people would be unable to play both games, because well, what would be the point?

If Red Tide also had MP then the majority of the people who are currently playing the original MP (those who have bought Red Tide) would probably move on to that. Which could lower the # of people around to play the original, which would eventually result in the game dying.
No point in splitting the community in two.

I can see the attraction to MP/Co-op in these games, but remember we already have 1 game that does both, and another one coming..Is one SP-only title really so bad?
Though i will admit i wouldn't say no to a patch/update which allows co-op play, that's always a blast.

Hi, I bought this amazing game yesterday via steam and bought MoW last year from Gamersgate.
Red Tide is an amazing addition and the most of MoW fans agree with that.

Why not at least coop?

It´s possible to think in a patch or DLC adding this wonderful feature for Red Tide?

Multiplayer in the Red Tide client is not going to happen, and don't expect it in Vietnam.

Did they release any patches yet? There are a few annoying bugs in the game

This thread seems old but I just had a few quick questions. I downloaded the mods, now do I just extract those into a "mods" folder in MoW? I bought Red Tide so I have all the language files and everything that I need. I've been reading some forums with instructions but they are in German so it's not easy to understand.
