HTF do I play earth map in multiplayer?

[civic13]

I've used computers all my life. I've been an IT at a company with 50 people. I've scoured the forums. It should not be this hard to figure out how to play a custom map on multiplayer with a buddy. Can somebody please tell me HTF I play the earth map on multiplayer? It's completely unacceptable that I can't seem to play map pack nor custom maps on multiplayer. Am I missing something here?!?!?

I can't either. Good question. Anyone know how?

You simply can't, you also cannot play with mods. MP really needs a huge patch

I've wondered this as well. It's strange how you're able to play it in hotseat but not over LAN/internet.

Hotseat is not MP in the sense that no data is being transmitted, only saved locally. Mods are not enabled for MP becaause the unstable MP net code is fragile as it is, and adding mods would stress it out even more. Custom world builder maps are just mods with another name, so no earth maps in MP until they fix MP and enable mods :-/
