To all old vanilla team players --> use evolve

[WhiteRqbbit]

Hi all,

we found a good way to play civ with more than 4 players, without lag and everyone can host: Its evolve:
https://www.evolvehq.com/
Download it. Then you have to be in a "party" to start playing. You just can be invited to a party by players allready in the party. When you are in the party u can see/join games via: multiplayer->lan

Players I allready saw here:
WhiteRqbbit
Neme
Conan
Sex
AS
Ace
Hofi
Tiger
Bob
Baron

So old players come, so we can do some nice 4on4 vanilla games

Of course all other players are also invited to join evolve. Just ask for example the guys above, to invite you to the party.

Cheers
WhiteRqbbit

One of the forum members at Realms Beyond has worked out a fix for the problem of 2+ players connecting to a Direct IP or Pitboss game simultaneously without requiring a VPN. All you need to do is to configure the "hosts" file on your system to redirect connection attempts to the Gamespy natneg servers to another IP. Then you will be able to connect to any player who has applied the same fix.

Here's the link: http://realmsbeyond.net/forums/showthread.php?tid=7123

Our primary Pitboss host (Caledorn) is currently running an alternative natneg server, and he has mentioned it uses so little traffic that he's happy for others to simply connect to his IP if they wish. (You do not need to be playing in any of his games to make use of the fix.) Alternatively, if you're more comfortable rerouting your IP to someone you know, you can find the source code for the program in the same thread linked above, and you or one of your friends can host an alternative natneg server.

Happy gaming!
