A quick question of upload/download speeds for netplay.

I am unable to play Paradox games from home because of lag. I live in the country and have an outdoor wireless modem, it just isn't fast enough.

Because WiF is turn based, I'm hoping that lag won't be an issue and I can play from home. Is my assumption correct or will I have to play WiF from my office too, with it's faster speed?



Shuoldn't be a problem. Only 'decision' files are transmitted, not entire games. [I answered this question earlier this week somewhere.]

With the game so close to release I thought I would revive this thread from the freezer.

My current system has been upgraded to three monitors now. The left and right are 1680x1050 turned 90 degrees. The main monitor is a 28" at 1920x1200 for the map running on dual 640MB video cards, 5.1 surround sound, 2gigs ram, quad core cpu, and other goodies.
I understand the forms and windows can be dragged off the map window and be placed on any screen estate you have, is this still accurate?

This is taken from the Players Manual, which is nearing completion. What are missing from this section are representative screen shots of: M1007, M1210, M1912, and the dual monitor configuration of 2560 by 1024.

It's a long winded answer to your question but addresses other questions that might be asked on this topic. See the last 4 paragraphs about multiple monitors in the second post.

Sorry to cost you time Steve. I missed this post I guess. Thanks!

Yes and you can save different layouts if you want. On top of that, the map views can be defined on a per major power basis. I've played around with two monitors - one 22" for the map and a 15" for the forms and I found that to be quite effective. Having the main map cross a monitor boundary is tough to get used to, but with the real estate you have, you could get very creative with map views.

I have to say i can't wait to see how my triplemonitor setup will be. I'll have to take some pics and post them.

Dualcored mac mini, 3.2gb ram, 1280x1024 19" monitor.




V22 Osprey -> RE: What hardware and operating system do you expect to use to play MWIF? (6/19/2009 2:07:38 AM)

I will most likely be playing this on my laptop:
Windows Vista Home Premium SP1
1440 x 900 resolution screen
Dual Nvidia Geforce 9800M GT SLI(This will be upgraded to dual GTX 280Ms)
Intel Core 2 Duo 2.8 Ghz
4 Gigs of RAM

Yes, this is an alienware.
