Mods in Multiplayer?

[Stratagist IV]

So I decided for the first time (yes I know, the game has been out for almost a decade) to open up the multiplayer interface and upon further examinations I found something that made me with excitement....

When I opened up the scenarios, a basic map that I had been creating myself came up as one of the options to play on....

Does this mean that if I make a mod it can be played online?

If so, how does it work? Do the other players need to have the mod downloaded or will it just open from my comp? Are there any compatibility issues?

For anyone wondering, yes you can play created maps and/or modpacks online with multiplayer. It took a fresh install (perhaps not needed but friend had moved some things around) for my friend and I and we made sure to have identical file structures/files, but now no problems.

We have all the basics in place and now just email a biq, with imported rulesets, to each other when we want to change maps (I abhor random maps.)
