BtS and FFH MP this weekend!

[sunrise089]

Hey all,

Since MP threads for games starting "right now" don't seem to work too well, I want to give notice for a pair of game I plan to host.

First, today July 9th at 7:30pm EST, BtS MP game using direct IP connections (avoiding Gamespy). I'll post the IP when I get home.

Second, tomorrow July 10th at 12:00pm EST, FFH MP game using dirdct IP connections (avoiding Gamespy). The IP should be the same as the Friday game.

No idea if there will be enough interest to play either game, but I want to give people some advanced notice.

Tonight's game is 12.30am BST I believe. Please correct me if I am wrong.

I will play if that time is correct

I might give the FFH game a go, but I haven't played any direct IP multiplayer Civilization before. Anything I should know?

Not really, it should pretty much just work. Um...we'll need the same patch, and if your router is open for the civ port that will be best.

Best best is not using a router at all...a non-router person on a good connection is the ideal host.

Okay. I'll give it a try tomorrow then.

The FFH game sounds pretty cool, I'll try to be online.

If I'm home I'll try to be around for the FfH MP, could be a fun way to Learn the game

Patch-wise, I'm using whatever we have for the FFH PBEM... I suggest everyone else do so as well. I think you have to download it from Civfanatics tho (it has official support, but was released after Kael stopped updating the game, I believe).
