Multiplayer Game Info (Updated Frequently)
Version: Fire 0.25l (make sure you are patched all the way! games are usually the most recent version)
*Games going on usually most days, just post here or join Hamachi to get into a game*
*Read about Hamachi Virtual LAN for info about using a virtual LAN for larger games or finding people to play with, or lower for a link on how to fix router problems, or for the link to iirc chat program used sometimes when a big game is about to start to help coordinate*
*Feel free to chat away on this thread and figure out your connection issues via questions and answers, or discuss multiplayer games had, or wonder out loud on some good multiplayer scenarios*
Hamachi Virtual LAN
Due to some problems getting games with more than 4 people connected properly in multiplayer, we've been using the virtual LAN program, Hamachi. Click the following link for more information and a download (grab the beta version):
http://www.hamachi.cc/download/
Once installed, run it, and go through the steps it says to join a virtual network, choosing:
FallFromHeaven (you'll have to type it in I think, and its case sensitive), with password ffh
or
FallFromHeavenAnnex, with password ffh
or
FallFromHeaven2, with password ffh
or
FallFromHeavenFull, with password ffh
For FfH BtS:
FfHBtS password ffh
FfHBtS Team password ffh
FallFromHeavenBTS password ffh
DIRECT IP through Hamachi Virtual LAN
Right click someones name and choose "Chat" to first talk and set up a game. Once a host is chosen and they've set up a game, then you can join it.
To join a hosted game, simply right-click the host players name from the list and choose "Copy Address", paste this in the Direct IP section in civ4.
