Choosing difficulty in multiplayer "custom map" scenarios. How???

[Jansku]

We're trying to play a humans vs computer multiplayer game on a LAN. If we pick any scenario that has a "custom map" (such as almost any of the built-in MP scenarios), the game won't let us choose a difficulty level in the multiplayer game menu. The "difficulty" box in the "game settings" menu says "custom", and the game is always way too easy, probably regent or something.

If we try to put up a single-player game with the same scenario, it works fine. Is it a bug??

Please help

I had the same problem too (with civ3 conquests 1.22), and to me it seems like a bug. It worked fine when I set the difficulty to deity (or whatever) BEFORE I picked the scenario map (on the multiplayer lan-game host screen).

Hope it helps... you didn't say which version you had the problem with
