I for one did not vote on the subject, for it can go either way.
From an RPG stand-point, no this game can't have multiplayer. RPG's are meant to build your character in a world that reacts to you and your decisions. It is about the story, not the battle, and MP is all about confronting the other player in a battle unless you think along the standards of a co-op mode, then there are possibilities.
From a pure game-based point, this game does have quite a few possibilities for MP. You could take the the idea given where two players go at it normally, travelling across the map and exploring in real-time with an end goal to capture the enemy castle. Or you could take the also very good idea where the game starts with both players in their own area with a time limit to gather and acquire resources/armies in preparation for a large duel between the players once the time is expired.
That is, at least, the way I see things. So again, I won't vote because it could easily be just a manner of choice. Will it be a great game without MP? probably. Will it be a great game with MP? probably. Either way this has a lot of potential and I hope the developers make the best of it no matter which way they choose to go.
