I would have bought that if I had known about it.
Question about AOE3 online play
-
If you are both playing the expansion online (or even in a private network), it should work. It depends on how far they go with anti-piracy mechanisms. If it also references the cd key for the main game, you could be in trouble.
However, there are some companies that do allow you to “spawn” install on other computers for private LAN games. I seem to remember the older AOE games allowing this and making it very easy for me and my friends.
I don’t know if they still have this, but on AOE2, you could have teammates play as the same civilization controlling the same units. We’d play 2 vs. 2 with only 1 civ on each side, crank up the pop cap to max, and it would be great fun. The control over your units was better since there were two of you, and my friend and I would divide tasks between civil and military, until we were ready for an offensive. I highly recommend this if they still have it. Great times!

Well it didn’t work :lol:
They said that the cd-key could not be used to create more accounts (i had to make an EOS account)

That sucks. Oh well, at least you’ll be able to play with your friends. :wink:
Jermo, that reminds me of when me and my friend did the same thing but with Rise of Nations. We both controlled the same nation and I was in charge of the military issues while my friend was in charge of the economic issues. It was really cool. Now it would been crazier if there was one person controlling the economy, one person controlling the air force, another controlling the navy, etc. :lol:

I definately do recommend it. My 232 hours of RoN on xfire should tell you that I like it a lot and thats also not including the many hours that ive played the game while I wasn’t logged in to xfire. In all I have probably played like 1500 hours. Its a really fun strategy game that is historically epic. I like to have early skirmishes with hoplites and archers and then later on have Napoleonic style battles when i get musketeers, elite calvary, cannons, etc. If the game lasts long enough, you can end it on a good note with tanks, jet fighters, bombers, rocket artillery, missiles, ICBM’s, etc. I find it easier to micromanage the economy and military in Rise of Nations cause there are only a max of 6 resources you have to collect. Also the naval battles are awesome too with galleons, fire ships, dreadnaughts, battleships, aircraft carriers, submarines, etc.
If you ever pick this game up, id really like to play it against you. :lol:

Dont forget about the Palace of Versailles wonder. It makes French troops with supply wagons heal at double rate. Also if you have the general when you research republic as a government and you are fighting on your land, you will heal at triple rate!! :-o
