Default Re: Not having much luck with Multiplayer

How long are you waiting?
This isn't some FPS or RTS game where you jump on a server, frag for an hour and leave.

24 hour turns are pretty good for multiplayer, since everybody has different schedules.

If you have one or two friends, you can set up a TCP/IP game, and bLast through 50 turns on a weekend, then move it over to PBW to finish it during the next few days.

A while ago, I was running some "Turn Blitz" games on PBW. They had 1 hour turns, and the TDM AIs would play for you while you ate, slept and worked. Games were over in about 3-4 weeks, which is blindingly fast.
