rise of mankind, searching for a multiplayer game??

been a while since i have played this mod and i notice some changes to it.

but i am wondering about the multiplayer aspect if that has been worked on and able to be done not counting LAN line, and if there is any groups or gatherings of people that do or want to play with others. i have tired the start up a "play by email" but it just crashed, but not sure if just doesnt work or i didnt do something right.

i have wasted the day away searching on this topic and havnt seen anything i could see that would lead to the chance of having a multiplayer game on this mod i love so much.

PBEM doesn't currently work but I should be able to fix it when I get back at the end of the month. I've played up to modern era some months ago using Direct IP. There are some threads describing how to get the best in MP, i.e. how to avoid out of sync problems and which options are working the best. I plan to try again MP during the summer once I've fixed a couple of bugs.
