PTW MP question

[Boris Godunov]

I recently tried playing PTW with my roommate over LAN. A game-breaking problem was that his units would be attacked by barbarians in between turns, but he would get no notification of it. When it came back to his turn, his units were just gone. Is there a way to stop this from happening? Or is it fixed in Conquests?

This frustrated him enough to not want to play MP anymore, which I would very much like to do.

What mode were you playing (turn-based, simultaneous moves, turnless)?
