Remember,
you MUST be connected to the Internet or a network when you use the
CyberWar Mode. After connecting to the network and starting the game,
set your WEIV up to connect to a CyberWar Host by following these instructions:
-
When
the World Map Window appears, click on the CyberWar Button.
-
Two
buttons and a text window will appear at the bottom of the World Map Window.
-
Click
on the Connect To Host Button.
-
The
"Connect To Game Host" Window appears.
-
If
you have arranged for a game with someone, enter their email address
(Assuming they are acting as Game Host).
-
If
you haven't arranged for a game, click on the World Empire V
Headquarters Button:
...and
the Headquarters Line Window will appear:
Players
can locate and chat with Game Hosts while connected to Headquarters.
-
Click
on the name of the Host whose game you wish to join. With that
Host's name highlighted, click on the Join Game Button.
-
Your
game will now attempt to contact the WEIV Host you selected and
connect you to his/her game as a player. If the Host you are
connecting to has already filled his or her game with players, you'll
get a message in the status box informing you that you can't connect.
-
If
you are successfully connected, a window will appear welcoming you
to the game and allowing you to select your ideology. Click on the
Ideology you want to take over (already taken ones will be greyed
out), then click on Continue...
...Then
you'll see...
-
When
your connection is complete, the status line on your World Map
Window will read "Waiting For Host...".
-
You
now just wait for the Host to start the game (the Host has to wait
until all players are connected). When the game is started, the
Host's turn will come first. Just wait for your turn and then conquer
normally In the meantime you can use the Hot Line to chat with the
host or other connected players.
VERY
IMPORTANT: In CyberWar Mode, the game being played is saved
automatically after each attack or transfer of armies - but only on
the Host computer. If a player is disconnected for some reason he/she
will need to reconnect to the Host as described above to continue
game play.
Hail
and Good Hunting!
