game menu was in english before too afaik (as translated stuff sucks most of the time, dont know how the germans and french cope with that, guess they're brainwashed enough)
anyway, thought of that too and changed it back, but havent tried it yet, if i remember correctly, will look into it later

how is the game in MP? how does the turnbased suck? who's winning?

Its good, slower than SP due to having to wait on each players turn, so 10 mins each max 20 mins per turn, usually around 10-15 average i think we had, so 4.5 hours we managed about 5 years in game :)  so a 2 player game could last 40 ish hours, they need to be able to allow human players to have their turns at the same time.

as to whos winning, we have avoided fighting each other yet, although my rakes love being on English soil ;) and my prestige is roughly 3x Jons :D

My main fight is against the Barbary states who i wiped out then they regained 2 of their regions in uprisings :S and the Inuits who i wiped out :D

ah... that's how Jon meant turnbased... think it's due to game mechanics, hard to circumvent that unless whole game gets refurbished.

aye, think i'd prefer max 5 mins myself, it may cause some missed chances, but speeds up the players and thus the game

I went with 10 as it seemed like a good idea on short notice (didnt realise how the mp actually worked).  5 would be good in early stages, but if a game got long enough in it may become too short...

Anyways biggest single issue is MORE PLAYERS per campaign.  1v1 is good, but a 3 or 4 person game would rock so much.

I'd be interested :)

But let's check if my forwarding ports (added ETW ports now) solves my problem first.

yeah it's odd, no clue what went wrong.
it included a problem I've had before: seeing 2 networks in my 'network & sharing center', but sometimes no connection at all - DNS giving probs etc.

i'll give it another chuck, but not too happy with what happened.
if a hard reset fixes all problems I get it's not so bad though - pretty easy to plug a pencil in that hole ( ::))
as long as it stays at that...
