To get access to the mp campaign you need to go here:

its only in beta for now, plus would need a hella lot of hours to get anywhere

well ive just given it a go and i reccomend playing as one of the smaller factions, a little less waiting around then, and don`t forget to allow the other player to control ai armies/fleets in battle.
