How do i play multiplayer?
 

Hi all,

Possibly another dumb question. I'm getting moderately good at the game now, and can generally beat the AI on middle settings.

Is it feasable for me to try and play a multi player game over the internet?

How does this work, do all the players have to be on for a couple of hours at the same time or something??

I am in the UK so if this is the case could probably only play UK players as I would be able to play early evening UK time which is mid day for most of America

1. Get some practice at Simultaneous movement games; all multiplayer games have to be sim-move (except hotseat games). Simmove has few differences: the most important being strategic combat.

2. Register at Play By Web. It's by far the easiest way to find opponents and handle game turns. (except perhaps for TC/PIP, which I haven't tried yet)

3. Join a game and start playing!!!

Play-By-Web automates managing the necessary files for that.
