TCP/IP Question

sogard · #1 March 13th, 2002, 05:23 AM

Has anyone been able to get a tcp/ip game to work? Just received my copy and am curious if anyone has actually tested out a tcp/ip game on the internet.

You don't need to open another instance to play in the game. Your friend needs to have your IP address. Once he enters it and joins the game, you can select "start" and then each player (including yourself) will be able to create their empires.

I'll help you do a test game right now if you want. I haven't played a TCP game yet. I just read the section on them in the manual.
