My brother and I like to keep in touch by playing Civ 5 multiplayer but we have a lot of trouble with it. After a couple of hours whoever is not the host usually loses connection. For some reason when I try to reinvite the dropped player it never works - it always comes back with an error.
So I save the game and and try to start a new lobby, but since I saved the game with an ai player instead of my brother it starts automatically. I then have to invite my brother while playing - and it works (yet this function never works when he is dropped!). The problem is the game sets him as another Civilisation than the one he is playing!
Is there anyway to work around these issues? If it makes any difference I own BNW and he doesn't (but I always make sure the expansion is disabled).
Thanks for your help.
