Re: Multiplayer question
Sorry I must say that, but the error is in front of the computer - obviously you're trying to start 2 "client" instances of DOM on the same computer.
Do the following in exactly that order:
1) Start the server
a) run dom2.exe
b) choose "network"
c) choose "set up a dominions server"
=> there's a hint on the bottom of the screen !
d) set the server to run on some port (remember the number you put in there!)
e) DOM will tell you the detected IP and the port number (Again); memorize them !
2) Start your client (your comp)
a) run dom2.exe
b) choose "network"
c) choose "connect to dominions server"
d) enter the IP 127.0.0.1 and the port number from 1d/e
3) Start the external client (the other comp)
a) run dom2.exe
b) choose "network"
c) choose "connect to dom server"
d) enter the IP and port number from 1e)
4) Choose nation
=> you need a pre-made pretender for the nation you want to play
5) when all clients have connected, start the game from the server screen; choose map and game settings via the server setup screens that follow
