Eh... I haven't really played Armada II online before, although I can. It is kinda a hassle for me to dig out the CD again and pop it in just so I know I won't get some sort of sync error (yes, I got NoCD running on Armada II and the mod, despite the executiable being renamed, but I can restore at a moments notice if I have a problem with the game or if I play it online. Yeah, don't kill me for using NoCD, I don't want to have yet another retail disk turn into a coaster! That can be REALLY annoying at times... =<).
I just have two questions though... first off will a 56k connection over the internet allow gameplay? I played a strategy game that could be played over the internet... interesting idea, it slowed down gameplay to accomidate the slower transfer rate... um... gah. A second quesiton, this is more for when I will eventually LAN play at college (this mod should convince people to load Armada II back on), how does Voice over IP (VoIP) work in this game? I have it on, but as far as I can tell, I don't see anything new in the interface allowing for VoIP, other than in the settings area. Assuming I can get it to work, how will it murder my connection, with a 56 k modem even, with the other players?
Anywho, I guess I am up for a game, if you want to face a laggy modem player who most likely can get easily beaten because they never bothered to play online with Armada II before... up to you.
