Decided to play my friends with PTW for the first time, we got all the latest patches (1.27f) and I hosted, everything was fine till we got into the game.

Is there supposed to be a delay between u smoving a unit and it actually moving? we all have broadband (512k or higher) however one PC is kinda low spec... (1.1mhz 32mb graphics!!) but it plays single player no probs! Could this be the problem or is it more to do with the "sync" fix with the last patch?

thanks for any help or pointing me to the right threads!!!

This is normal. There is a slight 'reaction' time that the game takes to process movements over multiplayer. If you have perfect connections with no lag, you wouldn't see this, but nothing is perfect.

Thanks Ginger Ale!

(ps seen the madest thing ingame last night, my army had just attacked a city but kept attacking thin air untill the next turn! Weird glitch!!)
