Gelcub, you're using a router right? Have you any clue what NAT (Network Address Translation) is? Basically vicky and hoi2 uses specific ports to connect - and you'll have to manually open those ports in your router configuration tool.
Hey Sjak ! I'm up for a game. I can play any country, but I'd prefer to ally with you of course ! Been away for a long week. Let's get together as soon as we can and figure out what we can do. Legion Teamspeak is open I believe.
Hey man!Quote:

Roger that will post up later today.Quote:

we are using ver. 1.03
it seems we're having connection problems, tho. Me and shadewolf cudnt connect, and same problem happened with me and sinan
gah vicky gah
yeah get the beta patches from the forums... they fix the tariff problem as well as many other problems, you need to open some ports in your routers....
check them out at the forums.
also if you have even the slightest difference in version (other then the config text files) you will have problems.
thanks,
dizzy
I think we should try again with 1.03c patch.
Anyway BAttlefield 2 demo was really fun !!!! Thanks for the games ! gotta do that again sometime.
we could, although, im 99% sure that the patch isnt gonna fix our problem.
Yes, they were really good games, man. Thanks a lot.
Sinnan Dessa where did you purchase your copy of the game? and for what price, because im interested about this game and im just shopping around.
You could always check the Paradox show (online)Quote:

Yeah probably the patch 1.03c won't fix it, but let's give it a try. I hope it helps but I think it's more a software issue which seems also to emerge with HOI2. In any case we have more improvements with 1.3c anyway. I hope we can figure out how to get a game going.
I got my game from a media market, ages ago, about 2.5 years ago. It should be real cheap now. I think the producer's online shop is a safe bet, but then again you could probably get it for 5 bucks from ebay.
Shades Wolf have you still got VI installed. Some friends (including Sjak) and myself anre thinking of doing some battles, somewhat re-enactment and somewhat gameplay. We'll fix our army setups and start soon hopefully. Still thinking about it. Would you be interested ? Also if anyone else is interested please do let us know...
This is an example of a (surprise ?) Turkish army 3vs3, unvalored and without upgrades. Just an example of what I mean by fixed armies and tactics. In this case the 3 players on this team would decide how to operate as part of a unit i.e all 3 act as one force. Each player is responsible for his own regiment acting in conjunction with the other two regiments:
Missile Regiment

Would you prefer to do that or actual battle reinactment?
I seem to remember we were going to try an do a Kalka river reinactment but it never got off the ground.
I remember Kalka river as well.. hmm I'll see if I can dig up the thread. I guess it all depends on what everyone is interested in. Anything is fine by me.
sounds good to me mate
hey I foudn one of the threads though I did not find the one with Kalka where we drew up the actual order of battle and all. Please check in the Jousting Fields here:
https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showt...ewpost&t=24169
the Historical Re-enactment Society thread has been bumped.
I up for anything as long as it's got some basic goals and guidelines.
Back on topic: hope Sjak has some news about Vicky in the meantime.
Sorry to let you down buddy - next move would be to test that 1.03c patch.
Hey not all bro. Did anyone reply to your post on the vicky forums ?
yes, one reply so far, doesnt look promising.

Hmm that's not good news, but then why could Wolfie not join either ? He's not on a LAN I believe.
he told me he was using a modem. The reason he cudnt join, was because I didnt open my ports when we attempted it.
Roger that
hey you guys, i've played alot of mp, especially lan mp, heres a tip from me to you's, make sure your enemies can't cut you off and make sure your economy is diversified enough to prevent a glut from destroying your nation, coz from the games i have played glutting the market is a prime strategy to destroy someones economy during a war.
its really funny, the last game i played as italy, before wars started nations like america would organise weapons sales (this works by glutting the market with small arms and stuff similar and organising a payoff by one nation to the nation glutting the market, this drops the value of the good so its cheap to outfit an army, it usually happens with ships, coz artillery and steam convoys are really expensive for a nation not producing them) but sweden was involved in this war against prussia, and the sweden player was mass producing steel, so what do i do (i wanted prussia to thrive, so when france and prussia went to war, i could clean both of them up) i glutted the market with steel (by dropping 20k units on the market at once), sweden's economy plummeted and they couldn't stabilize and lost the war on the basis that they went bankrupt.
make sure this can't happen to you, and make sure that you can always get the stuff you need for your industries easily.
thanks,
dizzy

Have you had to change any setting to get the online version to work ?
As a newbie who has never played MP, I have a question:
Is the game buggy or is that just me?
Sometimes I do something and it freezes - music plays but nothing else. I have the latest patch and everything, but this is frustrating for an SPer.
And this game is hard! How do you hold 20k units of something at a time? Just set it at "buy if less than 1" while producing the product in large quantities?
Hehe. My current Brazil campaign is OK for a beginner. World power (#7) though only because of prestige. Making enough money to work on industry.
