Re: Patch 2.14
To play a PBEM game:
* Find an open PBEM game (duh!)
* Make a Pretender for your nation, and send the .2h file in the newlords directory for this nation. If you are playing Man, you should send the man.2h file contained in the Newlords directory to your host.
* The host will send the turn files to the players. Put the turn file (man.trn in this case) in a game directory (for example, PBEM), launch the game and play your turn for this game (which would be called PBEM here).
* Send the .2h file contained in the game directory to your host. So in this case, you would send the man.2h file in the PBEM directory.
* Repeat the process as next turn is sen.
For a TCP/IP game:
* Make your Pretender, then connect to the game. The IP and the port will be given to you by the host.
* Select the nation you want to play; it will upload your Pretender.
* Once the game has started, connect to the game and select your nation. Then play your turn as usual, and it will be uploaded once you end your turn.
* You may also need to register at a site when playing a TCP/IP game; it is true of Mosehansen at least.
