The problem with MP games not showing up in LAN games section can easily be fixed by synchronising the modfolders of every player. Just make sure everyone copies the Orbis folder of one player to make sure everybody has exactly the same content. Apparently, Civ checks that before allowing LAN games..
In my opinion Orbis is the "refinement" mod whereas FF concentrates on adding content...funny you perceive it exactly opposite. FF has more civs, more heroes, wonders, spells etc. Not that it doesn't refine gameplay, it just has a different approach.
I like both mods, but prefer Orbis as FF gives us (2 player LAN) OOS almost every 10-20 rounds...or python errors....or just crashes...really takes the fun out of it.
Surprisingly, the new Orbis 024 eliminated OOS for us, we now have taken several games over 400-500 turns (standard size, epic, 14-16 civs). Really nice if you can play without disturbances and reloads (though it's dangerous, you really lose track of time )
