I´m at my brothers´ place and he would like to play, but FFHRP is full... Would someone be so kind as to make a little room?

EDIT: nevermind, there was a free spot in FFHRPII...

well, I should be available, Sunday was an exception, as well as Today cause of King Arthur: Roleplaying Wargame, but yea, I'll be on. Its kinda hard to drag myself away from Arthur if ya only have 1.5 hours

How're you guys playing multiplayer? Every time I try it, it ALWAYS goes OOS.

Actually yeah that was a little stupid. We went online enthusiastically and then we realized that we didnt have as much time as we thought...

It will always go OOS when you are joining already ongoing game. If you start from a lobby, it should work. You need to have exactelly same version (patch) as the other players. There are issues ometimes, but we still manage to have quite regular Saturday RP games. For details check here: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=325347

ok guys, i want to try the multiplayer
i have yet to play ffh online
infact i only played once in multyplayer on regular civ
and it teached me that compared to you id be pretty horrible player
but against the AI i play on deity for a long time
so i know the rules
and can commit not to quit during the next 10 hours

so if anyone interested tell me what i should do

ps: one thing tough, im from israel so i dont know what kind of effect that will have on the game (lags etc)

Instal Hamachi and log on FFHRP or FFHRPII channel (details here: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=325347)

Alternatively join #erebus (details here: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=328588)

In both locations you should be able to find some individuals who will guide you. If not - read deeper into the threads I linked above.

Should be no problem. I've already had games with ppl from all over Europe, US, China, Japan and there were no major lag issues. At least none of them correlated with geographical location.

we are online Idiot2 ... can you hear us? I see you on hamachi but ...

anyways, for all else listening, 2 people are up on multiplayer!

are PBEM games of FFH possible?

Oh and what about PitBoss?

 

[Tasunke]

never tried PBEM or PitBoss, although it might be possible.

I believe Pitboss is not possible.
