Hi, as the title suggests, I bought Civ V to play MP with a couple of friends. We were, up until recently playing Civ IV Realism Invictus, however the older the game gets, the more problems connecting to MP games we started to experience, forcing us to move on.
So we tried Civ VI for a while and whilst fun, the AI is beyond repair and even with mods it seemed very easy to exploit simple rinse and repeat strategies to gain easy victories even on Immortal. There's just zero challenge, the AI falls so far behind I actually can't fathom what it's actually doing to play so badly. Plus the mods didn't really lend themselves to the total conversion mods we liked.
So we stumbled on VP.
All eager, we downloaded the installer, got it all working single player and after getting my ass handed to me on plate by the AI in the classical era I knew this was the start of a wonderful MP experience.
However, Civ V isn't as straightforward as that in MP it seems. Can anyone please direct me to a nice, simple step by step guide to playing VP (Full EUI) version in MP please?
I seem to understand that you need a 'mod pack' and you have to do some file replacing in the Civ V folders, so if someone could explain how I can get just the VP (Full EUI) version working in MP that would be wonderful.
Thanks in advance.
