How to play by direct IP
 

Hi, we got the game with a friend and we are wondering how to play a multiplayer game by direct IP.

Everytime we choose multiplayer game and one of us create a game, the other just don't see the game in the server list.

I.e, I create a game and my friend enter my IP, he clicks on connect and the game just do nothing. He doesn't try to connect to my server.

We both have static IP.

Any Idea?

Let somebody from you create the game. The second player simply must write into in the window IP of that player that created the game and to press "join" And all will be good

Marian, you think with hamachi it is possible make this, or the game see only the IP which appear in the screen?

I know that some players played by hamachi

I confirm only by setting a private network does the "direct IP" multiplayer mode work

With "private network" you talk of hamachi?

Not exactly in fact we had to set up a "private network" using windows integrated features.

Strange because usually in a game when you use to play by "direct ip" it's easier than that...

So you create a VPN net? So i think with hamachi will good also.

How is the playing in multy?

That's right we create a VPN net.

We try multi 1 vs 1 and it seems it always result in a heavy bloodshed, with either side winning "a la Pyrrhus".

We also try a 2 vs 2 against AI and we suffer an heavy defeat but I think we made some big mistakes while choosing our army.

Most important part of the battle is in fact creating a balanced army :)
Fine game , can't wait for the patch / add on!

In addition there will be such maps with the excellent design of relief, I here now as a beta-tester play on-line and get large pleasure. Old maps for custom will be are also a bit changed.
With fog of war - scouting of locality it is a very important thing.
Battles with a blood, sticking of arrows and chopping of heads look very much brutal.
