I'm going to keep this network active with some friends.
Anyone looking for big battles is welcome.
When the network is full, I'll kick the players I think are less active, so that new players can join. If you have been kicked, and want to play, just join again.
Game version will be 1.4 (maybe 1.4.1) with no submods.

Network name: Tatw2010
Password: tw

All players are welcome!!!

Hi me and my friend love to play this game over hamachi but i dont seem to see his game on third age total war and he doesnt see mine were both in a hamachi netwerk i dont know how to make it work please help

[Baywatch]

Just got done playing a game via Hamachi. I really can't say what your problem may be. Are you both on Hamachi in the same network? If so, then try exiting and restarting the game. Also, make sure you're both connected to the internet.

I know it's not much but I hope that helped.

As can be done? Do not know how to create the game

Thanks

the multiplayer campaigns in M2TW and TATW of course are a bit different than normal
multiplayer games. here you play a hotseat campaign which means you and other players
for every faction playing one campaign together. everyone is doing their turns, save and upload
the savegame for the next faction. the game provides a special multiplayer hotseat mode.

take a look at this post to see how it works - look under instructions!

For those of you who like to play TATW, we have a new TATW hotseat here: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=359010

[Trea25]

But this way when we have to fight both at the same time we can not do it? There is no other way to play both at once? lan?


Thanks

in most cases battles will be autoresolved in HS campaigns. the HS i play atm we
fight the battles like in a single player campaign. it depends on the rules of the HS.

sadly there is no way that the game allows multiplayer battles sessions via internet
out of a hotseat campaign which would be a great feature imo.

Ok, thanks for the info!

[The Saint]

There are already a few campaigns going on...

[Luis Daoiz y Velarde]

There are allready 5 active players in the network, and some 2vs2 fights have been fought.
I hope more people join us soon.

[Commander Ruunu]

I'm interested but I don't quite understand the point of Hamachi.. why the hell just not play with ingame gamespy version?

[axnsan]

Because it's flawed. As far as I'm aware they don't even have the servers up anymore.

Myself, Baywatch, and our non-forum friend are on for a battle tonight if any are in for it
