Can't even use Genghis in MP?

They have not enabled any mods/dlc since the game was released, for MP. They had some sort of data sync issues that they could not solve prior to launch, and still have not solved them apparently. And with them wanting to hire an expeirenced MP game programmer, my educated guess it that we will not see a major MP patch/XP until after they find someone to hire...

on a sidenote, not sure how you can stop Genghis in MP, unless team up with other civs.
 
Well, I've been doing a fair amount of fiddling with the XML files so I might take a look at this. AFAIK the DLC civs' information isn't located under the ordinary XML folder. I'm wondering if one could just copy paste the data from DLC to original ...

I'll take a look next week. Too busy this week.

Personally I think they purposefully disallowed the use of mods in mp order to sell DLC. Why would we pay for it when someone will make it for free. They should have just made expansions instead of trying to nickel and dime the CIV community wth DLC leaders and civs. pathetic...
 
Got DLC Civs working in LAN.

I'll try not to spam this info around the forums too much and moderators please smile kindly on me since I'm not even sure where to post this stuff - but I figured out (by accident) how to use Genghis Khan and all other DLC civs etc in Multiplayer LAN. If you want actual Internet then I don't know how to do that - maybe the person who created the hack I'm talking about might know if ou PM them.

Here is the link to my 'how to':

Hope that helps, cheers.

Yes DLC can be used now, but only if all players have the DLC, if one player does not then no one can use it.

does this mean we can play DLC scenarios in multiplayer e.g. Polynesia which says its multiplayer on steam but is that just for the maps or can you do multiplayer on the scenario aswell?
 
I'm not sure about scenarios, I would imagine they have to be coded for MP, but it would have be tested.

Well that was a design decision by Firaxis to disable DLC most likely because the crappy net code could not handle the added stress, and this is likely why now all players have to have a DLC civ to use it, because the crappy net code can not handle the extra load of transmitting DLC data to computers in the game that don't have the art assets.
