MULTIPLAYER
Clicking on NEW makes you the host of the new game and takes you to the Network Game
Setup dialog. This dialog has a Players window and a Scenarios window. The Players win-
dow shows you which other players are joined to your new game. As the host of the new
game you alone have the option to reject other players who might try to join the game.
The Scenarios window shows the available scenarios. As the game host, this is up to you
to select, as are the Credits, Bases, Crates, Tiberium and AI Players options.
Once you have 2 or more players, you are able to click OK. As the host, you get to decide
when to commence play, you should do this only when all game participants have joined.
JOIN NETWORK GAME
Join Game dialog
Before clicking on JOIN (to join a game), you must enter your name and choose a side and
color. Once you have done this, you can select an open game and then click on JOIN. If
your name is the same as an existing player you must enter a different name. If your color
is the same as an existing player the computer picks an available color for you.
The Join Game dialog has a message window. Messages from the other players in your game
appear here, just as your messages appear in the message windows of all the other players.
Once you have clicked JOIN, the dialog changes so that the N
EW and JOIN buttons dis-
appear. You are then in a wait state until the host of the game chooses to start the game.
In this mode you cannot change your name, side or color. You will be able to see the game
options that the host selects.
Sending Messages
From the Join Network Game or Network Game Setup dialog, the SEND MESSAGE button
lets you send a message to other players. Press ESC to cancel.
Within the game, keys F1-F3 send a message to one of the other players. Hit one of the “F”
keys to find out who that key is assigned to. You will see a message “To Player [Side]:” at
the top left side of the screen.
The F4 key sends a message to all other players.
