    yes and yes

    2. I've played only once MP. How do you meet a precise person. do you just see this person in the MP screen of Civé
    you must arrange a time that you'll both be online and know his nickname. one of the two will start a game and the other will join it. you can chat in the "lobby" which you see after selecting the multiplayer option within civ3

    3. How do you chat while playing.

      problems firewalls ?

      Hi
      Me and McMeadows met today to play and couldn't. He couln't see the games I was setting as a host. I could see his games (when he was a host) but we couldn't launch when ready.

      We both have Win XP, and DSL connection. We are not expert with computers and especially firewalls. Could it be this and how do we solve the problem. Please do explain us here because I couldn't really understand the technical stuff at Gamespy.

      Maybe it's something else.
      We both have Conquest and the 1.12 patch. (Just verifying something : we both have the european version of C3C but installed in English, so the patch should work... ?)

      and besides, why isn't there any Turnless option (only turn based and simultaneous)?

      Jeff

      please help

        Turnless was unstable in the extreme and implemented very poorly (when a unit became "ready" you snapped to it, no matter what was going on) and so it was removed in Conquests.

            router stuff

            Apparently we both disabled the built-in firewall of XP. So it's not this. I know now that I have a router. Probably a Cisco (which one i don't know. I have a Belgacom ADSL modem, can you tall me). I don't know what I can do with this...
            It's probably the same for McMeadows..

            Thanks for help...

              3. How do you chat while playing. There's a key (i know) that allows mwe to post messages but I never found it (keep in minc while answering that not everybody has the US keybord). so I don't want to know where is the key on the keybord but which symbol is it producing when you hit it. So I can find it.
              Hit the tilde key. That will bring up in game chat.

              See McMeadows' thread for the connection stuff.

                The tilde key is this one: ~ Just in case someone didn't know. And I believe you need to hold down the Shift key then press ~ to open the chat dialog window.

                  Well yes, shift is required to get tilde... on a US key board. His may be different though. I seem to recall some Euros using an ASCII code. I can't recall exactly how they did it.

                    You don't need to hit shift on the American keyboard; simply smacking the key to the left of "1" will work just fine.

                      Oops. That is right. It is the ` character. Mr. tilde is so dominant on that key that I confused the whole thing.

                      What is ` called?

                              Hi
                              Due to the mass of problems both McMeadows and me are facing, we'd like to withdraw from the tournament. It's not possible to play at all...
                              thanks and sorry for the troubles. If we find solutions, we'll register for another tournament maybe.

                                My opponent has yet to respond to my attempts to set up a game. Does that mean I advance to the next round?
