Title: RTS Help
Post by: Aelec Enitnel on May 07, 2011, 01:28:49 PM

I just got the RTS and am wondering:

What are Hamachi networks?
-and-
How do I connect?
-and-
Why is there a one player option?

Hamachi networks are rooms that players are located at. You must be in those rooms to be able to play games online. There are ways around that, but it is your best interest to download the free version of hamachi and make your own room for others to join.

Once you have hamachi installed and setup, someone will be able to help you connect.

The one player option can be used to play games online vs people that are using an instant messenger program. You can play using rts, while they use real cards. The one player option can also be used to see if your deck seems to draw well and flow well in one player mode before you decide to play someone else.

The post below has a link to the free version of hamachi, and explains things a little better:

What I mean is when I click on the Hamachi link, I get the age-old message "Internet Explorer cannot disply webpage".

Internet Explorer?  There's your problem right there.

Seriously, it shouldn't even be opening a browser.

step one, download either google chrome or mozilla firefox. this does nothing to solve your RTS issue, but it will make you life so much easier

Usually I try to stay away from using the accursed internet "exploiter", but for some reason i haven't changed my default yet on this computer.

I never downloaded it.
What I did was:
Click on the link to the post, which had a link, which I clicked, which "could not be displayed".
