how many players with a single CD ?
Hia all,
me and some friends of mine are really interested to buy dominions 2 ... I want to know if we need to buy one copy each or is possible (like with StarCraft) just to install the game on the server and a sort of 'spawn' Version on the client ? Of course for an hot seat game we need a single Cd but we are interested in TCP multiplayer and/or PBEM ...
bye bye and good luck
Andrea
I have heard on other topics that there is a sort of big step in price buying one ore two CD's from ShrapnelGames ... there is alco some other step ? I'm trying to merge aal the order from my games club in a single big order ...

Hi Andrea.
Regarding multiplayer, one CD can only be used on one computer. If you want to play several people with one CD you'll have to play hot seat.

Does this mean I can't host on one computer and use my other computer as a client (with one CD)? Or does the restriction only apply to client computers?
(well, I guess WinXP is stable enough to use as a host box... maybe...)

Re: how many players with a single CD ?
Hmmmm I wonder if the text-mode command line host command would need the CD. Its not looking for anything. It would be nice to be able to host AND play. I know it compares CD keys of all the players and treats matches very badly. I wonder if the hosts key is included.

Re: how many players with a single CD ?
Hmm, this means every nation in a multiplayer has to have a unique key? I can't have my computer client two nations, for example? No "I have several nations, you have several nations"-duel?
