I'm new. I want play civ2MP online as fast as it's possible! ;-)

[floyd]

One more technical question,

I live in student flat with guy, which of course love Civ. We have local network and common IP number in internet. Are there any problems if both of us want play in the same MP? Other words: may two players join to game from the same IP?

thx for your help

[Ming]

Never tried that... we have a network in our house, but each machine has it's own IP address.

[War4ever]

yeah not sure about that.....there is always hotseat if it doesn't work, let us know though, i am going to set up another machine in my place in the next week and i want to know the same thing.....

[floyd]

We'll try it in future. At the moment my friend is hard learning and waiting for evening game to incite me

Our comps have own IP each in our network. I think possible reconfiguration of ports on our router will be sufficient. We'll examine it.

[Ming]

Good luck... let us know if it works, and how you set it up.

[War4ever]

yes, with a second computer set up i can now peek and be on an even keel with the rest of the cheaters around here

[floyd]

You're right. I didn't realize it. That's problem.

Only war between us make us credible

[War4ever]

i was joking of course

[floyd]

Otherwise, it's the most powerful alliance I know

[Ming]

I remember when MWHC first discovered the two computer cheat... Thank god we all play with people we trust now

[floyd]

I think, trust and honesty are base of great fun. Is any satisfaction from dishonest win?

I think isn't.

[War4ever]

hehe......and thankfully he shared that info....nothing worse than an altered rules.txt or some other cheat to make you feel like you have wasted your time

[Ming]

Yeah... I've never seen the purpose of cheating. It would seem to take all the fun out of it...

And yes war... back then, we would normally use the cheat for the game it was discovered in, and then start a thread on the subject, never using it again. In one fourway game with me, MWHC, rah, and Xin Yu... Xin was finding a new cheat/bug like every 20 minutes... and sending out king chat messages like, "you aren't going to believe this" or "you have to try this"

The early years of the game were a blast.

[War4ever]

of course it took 8 months to play a game then, cuz xins turns took so long

[floyd]

Is it true that Civ3MP automatically connect and find available online players? I heard about it. If it isn't rumour, it is very comfortable!
