Multiplayer FfH2?

[Sureshot]

its fun, starts the game off with everyone having a shadowy powerful common enemy to discuss and worry about (its the player civilizations against the barbarians!).

it'd be fun to do a game with Infernal as the enemy and make them super powerful (change their units to be really cheap for them to make and increase their strength), but that would require making a mod of the mod lol

I'm keen to get into it to kill other players to tell the truth.

 

[Sureshot]

or be killed lol

mostly i like the fact that if you do war against a human player they won't do blatantly stupid things making the victory hollow (AI's do some really dumb things at times).

I agree its even better in MP, I played it in LAN. I would like to play it in MP with you sooooo much but unfortunately I dont have ADSL at home. But maybe this winter... Or maybe even next week, I have something on my mind...

Would you guys like to post some screenshots and After Action Reports tomorrow? (I know that you don't want to give away your domestic secrets while game still lasts but I'm really interested in how will this game turn out) Just a short writeup by each player... It is balance testing after all

i would have liked to see vermillions land after the barbs were through with him... thats one of the good things about teams though, you get to see what is going on in other peoples lands (like orthus rampaging through bad players lands pillaging like crazy with nothing either of us could do to stop him lol)

My land was stellar, which is why I deceided to risk it and expand to get all of it. 3 food resources + copper in capital radius, and much of the same as far as I could see. . Well...it was all for not when the liz showed up lol. However, that is not the case in the current game......

Its the liz rangers u gotta worry about. 3 move worker thieves is what they are.

heh I see how you are

 

[Sureshot]

what type of settings should we do?

and vermillion, watch out for the genocidal maniac!!! lol

 

[much2much]

Whos going to create the game? Gamespy lobby or Direct IP? Does Gamepy lobby work?

 

[Sureshot]

last time we played Direct IP and vermillion hosted

we played Raging Barbs, Quick, Continents map... i wouldnt mind trying a highlands map this time

i prefer direct ip as gamespy gives me troubles

 

[much2much]

I played Highlands the other day and really enjoyed it. It has a very fantasy feel to it.

 

[Sureshot]

ya, i think its my favourite, except for some of the ones you can generate with Smartmap script.

 

[Sureshot]

so whos in this game? me, vermillion, and much2much?

 

[Lord Vermillion]

hmm, sry took me so long to get home, had some personal stuff come up . Anyone still interested? If not, we can just do it on friday.

 

[Sureshot]

fridays prolly best, not sure how long of a game we could get goin and i already started playing something else lol

 

[Lord Vermillion]

No problem, friday it is.

 

[Jono]

I'm up for it... Although, I don't think a map like highlands really fits with FfH... Maybe just rocky terra? But I'm ok with whatever.

 

[Bad Player]
