Multiplayer types
Connection types
- Age of Wonders uses a couple of multiplayer types. It uses Hot Seat (Single Computer), TCP Internet and Play-By-Email and these differ in the style of gameplay.
TCP Internet
- TCP Internet play is a direct online or LAN play. The advantage to this is that the games play out and the turns change quickly while the disadvantages to it are that it is time-consuming and harder to set up.
- This is a recommended way to play in LAN and the IPX LAN doesn't seem to work.
- If you want to play with someone online, you could check out Hamachi (an account required).
Play-by-Email
- Play-by-Email is an another form of online play which basically works by e-mailing the turns. The advantage to it is that you can post turns at any time while the disadvantage is the slowness of the games.
- Age of Wonders Email Wrapper is almost a required way to play the game by E-mail. It automates the sending and receiving process to eliminate mistakes made by manual e-mail sending.
- If you don't want to play through the wrapper, be sure to check this guide on AoW Heaven forums.
Issues fixed
- If you haven't found an issue, even if you haven't downloaded from GOG.com, read GOG.com Support Page for more information.
