Alright, I know this is probably a 100 per cent noobish question, and its in the wrong forum or something, and I know I'm probably going to get a lot of yelling in caps lock and bashing, so I would just like to ask, maybe we could skip that part?
My cousin and I are trying to play Civ 3 multiplayer together. I've only played multiplayer once before, hot seat with my dad, so I'm a bit lost. We both have the complete edition through Steam, but we can't figure out how to make anything happen. We've both tried hosting, and eventually the game just shuts back to the main menu, and we tried direct IP connection, but it just kept counting off 20 seconds to connect for about an hour, and I guess we just don't know what to do.
I've been reading for the last few hours about ports, and firewalls, and lobbies and servers and my head is just spinning. I can't keep track of it all. So I was hoping somebody here could just tell me what to do, since you guys helped me awhile back with another question (I'm afraid I don't remember what it was,)
I'm running vista, if anyone needs to know, and like I said, I got the game through Steam (which may be the problem, but I don't want to admit it <.<) and my internet connection is super fast and stuff.
Anyway, thank you for any help you can give me. I completely appreciate it!!! ^0^
