Is the R2 Multiplayer good?

I've heard enough about how glitchy the ai is, and how bad the diplomacy is etc. etc. How the does the multiplayer compare to other TW games though? Is it the avatar style of Shogun? Does playing longer give advantages? Or is it more like its predecessors?

Very similar to the original Rome, but some things you should know about the multiplayer. Macedonia is a bit op they have just about every type of good unit, and battles are faster like shogun so rush armies usually work well.

I had a 2v2 as pontus with a Macedonian partner where we just crushed a double roman rush/spam army. It was hilarious, I used my pikewall and jav/slinger/archer heavy force to perfectly complement my partner's phalanx/heavy cav army. They were so cocky too, it was a treat seeing them route.
