There is also a difference between "network" games and play by email (pbem) games. You may need to ask questions about both when you do pay a mp game. But network tends to be easier.

And it is helpful to set up a shortcut of the dominions III program on your desktop (in Windows) with something like this:

"C:\Program Files\dominions3\dom3.exe" -C --ipadr whateverservername.com --port ####

in the target box


the whateverservername.com part changing to whatever server is being used and the port #### changing to whatever port is being used

and

In the "start in" box put

"C:\Program Files\dominions3"


that way you go right to the networked game without entering the server and port number each time you play your turn.


You can make a shortcut for each networked game you are playing.


Pbem games are easier to host with great setups like llamaserver.net, but i personally find playing them awkward, painful, and I end up missing turns a lot. Lots of other people have no problem with pbem though.
