Can I play online with this speed

[Guest Monwar]

Hi,

I have a slow dial up internet connection and I live in Bangladesh. My download speed is about 1.5 kbps and connection spedd 28800-33600 kbps. Can I play EBFD online with other players? I mean, isn't my conn to slow to play online?

What if I have a conn which connects at 100000 kbps with 12-16 kb d/l speed? Can I play then?

Please also mail your answer to monwar1982@yahoo.com. I sometimes have trouble browsing these forums.

Thanks in advance.

It can I think, at least try it... Emperor doesn't use that much of your connection. It's made that way that it send not much packages. But as I said, just try it. Having a good computer is more important then having a speedy connection (Altough 28k8 is the minimum according to WW)

Unfortunately, my version is not even the original version. It's a pirated version. Bangladesh, being one of the poorest countries in the world, doesn't have any shops where original games are sold. Only pirated copies are sold here. If you want to get an original copy, you have to get it in another way (i.e. Amazon). Flame me if you must, but I had nothing to do but buy a pirated copy. I have three serial numbers in my CD case, but Westwood says 'unknown serial number'.

It's unfortunate that we don't have original copies. However, broadband is starting to become popular and optical fibre will be installed in about a year and a half. At that time, some shops will hopefully start selling original games so that we may play multiplayer in the future.

I have one question to you folks : am I missing too much. I like this game and I'm quite content playing with the AI. I know it has some limits and playing with humans is a different xp, but does that mean I'm missing most of the fun? I hope not!

Thank you for reading!
