How do I password protect a MP game? And can I do it after it's begun?

Does everybody receives battle replays consistent with the battle results? I've already posted on battle replay giving completely different outcome than the battle summary. It has happened several more times since then. Basically, I'm getting replay and summary inconsistent more often than not. Is there any kind of explanation to that?

When you create your pretender the options are magic, domain, castle, and password. After a game is started its too late.

And I did finally have a noticable difference between a battle and what the map showed afterward. Not sure what causes that

Yes, I am having that in another game... which is very annoying, if the battle report shows the loss of your mercenaries and prophet and utter destruction of your army... then you look at the map, and lo and behold, there they are.

In Dom 1, this happened also - though never to me in this magnitude. It was explained due to different client-server OS. *shrug*

In one game I know that the host uses the same OS as me, and there's never been any inconsisencies so far, so I guess that could be true for Dom II as well.

This seems weird, especially since we regularly combine these options. Could you post the commandline used to start the game please. Or maybe it is a bug we have fixed after 2.02 and later forgotten about, but I don't think so.

Yeah, same thing here. In the battle replay, I got totally routed, lost nearly all my troops. In the summary I won and Last only one troop. No visible turning points either.. I just got rolled over.

In another fight opposite thing happened. Freaky.

I've staled twice thus far. No problems with battle replays.
