Just purchased RTW:Anthology- help needed

[zigy]

As stated in the title, ive just received my copy of rtw:anthology from game through the post. However, after reading posts from this forum and others, i have a few questions that i would really like to ask.
1 - Should i install all three disks before playing and is there an order in which i need to install patches for each game (also, i cant find patches for these games anywhere on the sega website)?
2 - i would ideally like to play my brother at this game. Is it possible to play together under the LAN feature on the game menu over my home wireless internet router or would i need to purchase two copies of the game and play over the internet?


Anything else that you guys can add to help me would be much appreciated.

you will both need a disc in the cd player to play

[zigy]

so, if i use the rtw main disk, and he use one of the expansion disk, it wont work? and also can you answer some of my queries of the patch and install please. thanks

[Fuyff]

well you will be playing rtw and he will be playing expansion. install all to get every thing patched and ready or pick and choose

I'd install in order

1) R:TW
2) R:TW BI
3) R:TW Alexander

I'd suggest that you launch the game after each of these. If you look at the top right hand corner of the Options Menu there will be a number - that is the version number. The latest R:TW is 1.5, the latest R:TW BI is 1.6 and the latest R:TW Alex is 1.9.

There is no need to patch the game if you see those numbers.

You both need to have an original TW disc in the drives to play.
