About multiplayer:

if all the players don't have the same version of the game (version number, demo/full doesn't matter), battles will be shown differently. The battle overview (units/commanders/... lost) always shows tells what actually happened.

Multiplayergames can be played with demo/full version games, but unfortunately demo hasn't been updated in ages. Because of that, you have to find a patch older than the newest. For at least some time the newest demo had a severe bug that made Utgard theme of Jotunheim dramatically different from what it was supposed to be. I don't remember if the demo has been patched to 2.11 or newer, which would have corrected this bug.

Just to confirm then, as long as we all have full versions (different copies) and we all install the latest patch (I think it's 2.16) then we should have no problems, right?

thanks!

Yep, we sure do! (wouldn't that be cheating, otherwise?)...

I can vouch for Alarikf. He is a very good customer, indeed! All of his keys are legal. Not only did he suck his friends into the game, he gave them copies as gifts

I did not find any friends that played with me("Ah, to complicatet. It´s to much mirco... etc")

Lucky you

If they play the game for 90mins... it should be enough to hook them. The game usually has a one hour learning curve from people I've hooked with it. The extra 30mins is the time for them to obtain units, magic_sites and commanders which they grow attached to.
The hardest part is finding people who will play a game to the bitter end. I find lots of people who will just quit... which is the same as having your game character do suicide. No honorable death and glory with that.

Personally if I'm losing I prefer to have my last breath spitting into the eye of my enemy.

I can't seem to hook my friends. They see the graphics and go like "Blah this sucks" They don't see the wealth of content and strategy there is in this game.

Ok, so, I have another question. I am going to, hopefully soon, be starting a newbie game...and I would like to have an option for different maps. I tried the random maps generator site, but the graphics seemed pretty off-kilter...

SO, I am wondering, is there a place out there where I can find a bunch of cool maps to use? I can go with stock maps if need be, and I think I'll probably end up doing that...but thought I would check...

and, hey, if anybody wants to squash newbies, I am going to be starting a new MP PBEM game soon...

thanks,

Alarik
