[quote]The host would have to create (and setup) the server, including any mods/maps. Any players who join will download the mod/maps from the server and play. Saves will be hosted automatically on the server (including SD's) but you can also choose to save them locally. This is mostly to make it easier to re-host games part-way through (instead of having to mail the save over to everyone).

Then again, I believe that was Civ 4, not Civ 5. Steam isn't exactly a rootkit, virus-like DRM like SECUROM. But DRM was the specific reason for removing LAN functionality. They don't want LAN play, or things like Hamachi, because they want all MP to be

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="30" id="2710623"] The game IS ready for release. There's no scenario where I would have agreed to delay the game until February. Sure, I'd love to have say another month to play around with the AI and such but we're an indie. We can't get shelf space during the Fall, only Summer and late Winter. The problem is always one where people have expectations that just can't bet met by a first generation game that doesn't have an unlimited

Apparently, the first digit is the generation or something number and the second one is the model number. So, the 230 is better supposedly.
