Gentlemen,
It's time to shape the world in our own image on saturday.
We'll start at 02:00 CEST (that's GMT-2) and I'll be hosting a pitboss server (to cut down on lag/connections problems) with the Beyond the Sword expansion, if you don't have the expansions, get them by any means as I have it that less than legal versions will be able to connect as well.
Also, install Bhruic's patch, this solves a lot bugs which are still in BTS.
We'll use hamachi to bypass any annoying firewalls/routers:
We'll choose an appropriate map type/size for the amount of people who will join. The more people who join the better because it will become more epic with a lot of people.
Because we'll be using pitboss we don't have to finish the game that night if it becomes very epic.
I still want to test the connectivity before we start, preferrably with a pirated version.
Any wishes/suggestions?
I propose using vent for voice comms as civ's voice comms suck...

Quote:1: download and install Hamachi.
2: Run hamachi ( close the tips window ) and press the power button in the bottom left
3: Click on the networks icon in the bottom right ( the triangle )
4: Join an existing network, network name: Hamachitoidpassword: alsococks
5: see us on the list? guud.
6: re-organize your intertube connections so that hamachi is at the top of the list.
    how?
    6a: Click start, and go to settings.
    6b: Go to network connections
    6c: Click Advanced , then Advanced Settings
    6d: Select the Hamachi adaptor from the 'Connections' box
    6e: Use the UP arrow to the right to shift the Hamachi adaptor to the top position, so basically it's the first one
    6f: Click OK
    6g: Reboot the PC (changes won't take effect until the system is restarted)
Congrats, now you can join the game when you have installed it
