Play by e-mail

[Kierkegaard]

Hello,

Me and my friend are new to civilization IV multiplayer and we wanted to play a game together by e-mail. But since we're both new, we don't know how.

If I click "play by e-mail" "new game" and then I enter his e-mail here:

Then I press enter but he never gets an e-mail. So I must be doing something wrong. Can anyone explain me how to set up a game by e-mail?

thx!

There's a way to set it up in one of the menu options by selecting his email and SMTP server. I used to do that, but it stopped working for some reason and I no longer do it that way.

The other method, and the way I currently do it, is to manually send an email to him by attaching the file the game saves.

Just my thoughts,
