Sure sure, my Steam name is malisteen. Should be the only malisteen, but this avatar just in case:
Though, I won't be getting the game until friday, and it will probably be a week or two more until I'm familiar enough with the single player to try multiplayer. I've never played total war before, and neither rts nor turn based strategy are really genres I'm any good at, generally. Honestly, I'm not usually much for mutiplayer gaming in general - it's usually too competitive for me, I play video games to wind down, not wind up - but in this case, for this liscence, with how well this game seems to have captured our faction, I'm looking forward to making an exception.
Does the multiplayer campaign not allow more than one player of the same faction? If so, that's a little disappointing. With each faction having multiple commander heroes... but ah well. Something for expansions, maybe.
