semperfi73 Posted December 22, 2002 Share Posted December 22, 2002 I'm a Marine stationed overseas and am attempting to get into Emperor multiplayer on the internet. I've been playing Starcraft with a fella stationed in the Washington DC area and we're now trying to transition over to Emperor. We prefer cooperative play but have some issues with the game. My friend hosts the game, I join. Here's the problem - when we enter gameplay my friend has an established base and a fair amount of troops. I, on the other hand, have only a construction rig and 2 or 3 combat units. He's usually won a victory by the time I get up to speed. Any way we could start on a more equal footing? According to the manual we should be each starting with a construction unit. Any insights greatly appreciated. Semper Fi, Kerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DukeLeto Posted December 22, 2002 Share Posted December 22, 2002 That's odd...I can't say as I've ever run into that problem. :- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyarlathotep Posted December 23, 2002 Share Posted December 23, 2002 No, me neither. I would say if one hosts a game and ets the game settings, it should apply to both players, instead of just one.Is this happening in coop mode, or skirmish against eachother ?

Gobalopper Posted December 24, 2002 Share Posted December 24, 2002 I noticed DirectX9 offers better DirectPlay coding. Maybe give that a try? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
