Ok, so I got AOC to work on one Win7 laptop, anyone know, If...

1. Can a Win7 and a XP computer play together via lan on this game?

If not, then...

2. Can a Win7 and a Win7 computer play together via lan on this game?

-----------------------

I'm hoping I don't have to buy another Win7 laptop to play lan with this game, and I can just use my xp pc to play with my Win7 pc.

note: I'm at another house, so I don't have access to those two pc's.
 
Yes. I have played with someone running Vista via LAN before, so playing with someone running 7 shouldn't be any different. I don't think the OS should make any difference anyway.

EDIT: On second thought, it might take some work before you can do it. You may need to run AoE in XP compatibility mode on the Windows 7 machine. Make sure the firewall settings are configured properly for the host machine, too.

Thanks Snobo, one more...

my xp pc has aoc 1.0c and our win7 pc has the age of empires limited edition, the one with the four original age of empires, so does this limited edition have 1.0c also?

and if so,

Can the 1.0c game and 1.0b(if its this version) play together?

I may have to update the 1.0b game, if that is the version the game has installed already.
 
All members of the game must be using the same patch. From what I see, you should be able to update the Limited Edition to 1.0c.
 
Ok, thought so.

You don't happen to know if the limited edition comes with 1.0b or 1.0c do you?

I know the gold edition, came with 1.0c, the one with the pre recorded games from the ensemble players.
 
I started another age topic but no one replied :sad:

My dad and I will be playing lan this weekend 😎
 
It's funny that you made this topic since I've been playing this game lately for the first time in a while. I loved playing this game so much when I was younger. xD
 
Yep, I'm playing as the Spanish recentely.

My dad will be the mayans, and we'll be playing land nomad this weekend.

us vs 6 hardest computer players.
 
I love their faster villager build times, and their +30% tradecart gold bonus.

Plus two unique units, the conquistador and the missionary.

The maya also have two units, the eagle warriors and the plummed archers, plus their resources last 20% longer which is a help.

I'm probably gonna go heavy navy, and do transfer drops of conqistadors/spearman/villagers while my dad with the maya will forward build and bum rush the enemies.

Thats the plan anyways 😛
 
Well i tried playing with AOE1 with Computer to computer doesnt seem to work
 
Make sure they are both patched correctly and make sure one isn't AOE1 and the other AOE1+ROR xpack.

Rise of Rome was pretty cool, it was "the conquerors" back then, until ageII came out.
 
I was about to buy this, my boss told me about this game. Apparently the 2nd one is the best, also some add on pack with it is cool too.
