Civilization V is CRIPPLED/BROKEN multiplayer-wise.
EMBARRASING! Shame on you Sid and FIRAXIS!
I tried litterally at least 50 times to join a game on internet, and have had NO multiplayer games yet!
Can play only through steam invites - and this is THE ONLY way you can play. Thats it. No other way you can play Internet OR Lan.
1. My friend cannot see any game i host on internet - but can see other Internet games(?) (firewall allowed)!
2. I cannot see any game hosted by him on internet - but can see Internet games(?) (firewall allowed)!
3. When loading a game (from autosave!?) - ALL others can join - and do so = lame.
4. Cannot make password protected games = lame.
5. Cannot kick an ai - that enters when when a player leaves = lame.
6. Cannot limit the number of players in a game - must manually kick excess players = lame.
7. Lobby freezes before a game launch.
8. Cannot move units when game actually starts = lame.
9. AI is so bad that you will loose if teamed up with one = useless.
10. 90% of people hosting games are AFK because games are difficult to set up.
11. Cannot join 9/10 games listed on the avaiable games. "Retrieving host information" displayed forever = lame.
12. Cannot see full changes to game settings other than most basic.
13. Cannot save games - only autosave. Which means you can only play ONE game at a time = fail!
