I have not gotten a chance to try to join a multiplayer game using version 1.06.
I get an error when trying to create a game and host.
But using 1.05 I was able to join when someone else hosted.
However I had no starting army or regions.
I'd like to see if that's changed.
If someone would host one so I can try that would be cool.
You don't have to commit to a game or anything, just a test to see if it indeed works or not.
