wc3 is so boring.

any c&c game is gd, part from the very first one (since it hardly runs on xp now)

rise of nations is ok, but quite simple
evilgenius is a gd strategy, but not sure how online it is.
paraworld looks quite fun (got a copy, havnt played that much yet)

cant really think of anymore good rts games online.

think we shld jus stick to playing the old c&c games :P. dont like the new 3d c&c's.
You fool you forgot Starcraft, That is freakin' awesome =]

I'd have a game of age of empires 2, used to love that online and think I've still got it saved somewhere. Got no C&C games though except maybe red alert 2 (and thats not a real one so can't play it).

RA2 can be picked up these days for ~£10, aint seen YR anywhere tho recently.

Problems that might occur here tho are people in uni with no port forwards :/

Hamachi would be a useable solution, which would allow for cracked play, as there is only uniqueness checking on keys over lan.

Would require someone to give out keys to people to use to install and make sure noone is using a duped key.

Farril: CnC online play is P2P.

Player1 Connects to Player2 and Player3
Player2 Connects to Player1 and Player3
Player3 Connects to Player1 and Player2

Then if any of the players drops, the game still plays.

What day do all the Uni dudes finish Uni on? I expect most will be on holiday by then, and we can try and organise some fast suPaR games.

You will need ports forwarding.

IIRC It defaults to needing:
TCP 1234
UDP 1234
UDP 1235
UDP 1236
UDP 1237
(Not sure about the legitimacy of this info, but Thats what I ahve in my firewall config and it works for me)

Additionally you can force a specific port:
From the main menu, select "Options" then "Network". Under the "Internet Firewall Settings" section you'll see a "port number" option, which can be used to instruct Red Alert 2 to always use the port specified here.
In that case its a TCP port i guess, but its probably best to forward both UDP and TCP if just TCP doesn't work.

Additionally, as I said, hamachi is a great tool that you download install, join a "network" and then its as if your on a LAN with everyone (in which case we would use LAN play rather than Internet play, and cracked copies would work provided everyone had a unique key.)


I go home on the 15th, usenet + porn ftw!
No porn at uni? whats that about? :P
usenet for me at uni \o


I go home on the 15th, but I'm in ireland till the 19th :/

Postponed indefinately, until my Raptor Jesus account is unbanned.

Im ****ed off trying to be helpful on here, and people like Leocrasher decide that personal vendetta's count for more than contribution. Perhaps certain staff members should ask why people like me dont care much for the rules, and realise the answer is: whenever we do give two ****s, we still get *****ed and and banned for some piss reason.
