Default Re: Play more than one nation in MP

Im not sure if you need to switch keys. Im fairly sure in many of the test games Ive run on my server that I have logged in as multiple nations. It has always been with one opening of Dom3 grabbing both turn files.

However, if you do decide you need to switch keys then you can create a seperate game-icon on your desktop. The key file is a file named "key". Just have the game icon for nation one copy key1 to key, then open dom3 (btw you can also tell it which ip, port, game name, etc so that you skip all that). Then have another icon on your desk for nation two which copies key2 to key, then opens dom3.

I can get more specific if I knew whether you were Windows XP, Vista, Mac, Linux.

Added Note: for those who are reading and get concerned about the possibility of cheating. Most hosts can "see" the connections and log them. On my server I can see when the same people play mutliple nations, or use a full version in a demo game.
