I am a casual player of SE IV Gold. I could get at least one more player (buyer) of SEIV if we could get multi player to work easily. I bought the game based on a PC Gamer review and I do not regret it. So I told my friend about ittold him to buy it. He said let me check it out before I buy it. I told him he's a cheap ***
.
So I "gave" him my copy to play with. He liked it and said he would buy it if we could get multi play to work. We spent two days trying to get PBW, TCP/IP or even PB-email to work. We play alot of on-line games and have had to configure our routers and such before. But no matter what we did we could not figure out how to get multi-player to work.
I thought it might be because we are using the same game on two different computers and I was going to buy another copy to verify this. But the experiance left a rough taste for him. I called him up the other day and he said he'd be up for a game if I could figure it out.
What I want is easy TCP/IP play. This would include a timed turn and easy multi-player save feature. I'm going to be buying, probably, two more copies SEIV 4 Gold.
