Would love to play this with you guys after finishing my exams. Must warn you that I'm really, really bad at it though.

By the way, what do you guys research first? I tend to go for Litter Bins, then Scuzzers and Basic Rooms, then Basic Goods. Then whatever Arona comes up cheap with.

Research Schmesearch. Trade is where the money's at. I research security scuzzers and go for the kill

Aww man... right when I'm going to be on vacation for a week and a half? Let us know if this ends up happening and works because I want to join in on a future game.

[Siquo]

Yeah well, there still needs to be a time when people can, and we need some kind of LAN thingy.

I propose using Hamachi:

Network: B12Games
Password: race of the little guys, or the first word of "DF" in lowercase. Convoluted because of harvesters.

Quick sec. scuzzer + kasvagorian spam may work, actually. I'll have to try that! 

[Aqizzar]

Who else wants to play Startopia, the game that is kind of what you might get if you painted DF in chrome and moved the lever from "FULL AHEAD DETAIL" back six or seven notches closer to "MODERATELY ACCEPTABLE GRAPHICS"?

Oh God, I just got back into this game like a week ago.  I stole a copy from my uncle in 2001, and I've never stopped loving it.  But I don't think I'll be much for multiplayer, I can't commit the kind of time it requires.  Trust me on this, a game will last ages if everyone has to conquer each other, unless you put in victory conditions.

Good luck all, I definitely recommend it.

Holy fuck this thread is old...like... Pathos has a post in it. :O

[Siquo]

Victory conditions should be used, games could take way too long otherwise.

I'm reluctant to name a date&time, as I'm not always sure if I'm able to get on the computer.

[lordcooper]

Definitely up for this if someone can find a way to get it working.

[PTTG??]

OK, That's finally taken care of. Let's see if we can figure out a VPN sometime soon.

I would love to join you guys, but any idea how to get multiplayer working on it? I've tried LAN and I can see my friend's games but when we click to join it just freezes for a moment then goes back to normal like we never tried to join it at all. In Gamespy mode he cant see my games. we both have no firewalls up so I dont know what it is.

[forsaken1111]

Its a new record for necromancy! I think.

I have yet to get this game to work in a stable manner on multiplayer myself.
