Cool Tricks
(And other stuff)
Play with three people off one CD
This is pretty simple, and works best when the game is going to be played on
through a network. The first person starts up the game, and after
the main menu pops up, (s)he pops the CD! (S)he then hands the CD to the next
person to start up the game, until all of the players have started up. It's a
good way to let everyone play at once, especially for large scale network games
with 3 CDs. Note that only 3 players are allowed to play per 1 CD.
Play on the Zone without a CD
Again, with the 3 players per 1 CD, I think it is possible to launch the game via
the Microsoft Gaming Zone without a CD... I've seen
people do it but I haven't tried it myself. If there is a special way to do it
please email me at aoe2@crastar.freeservers.com.
And if you can't just launch the game (from the Zone) without a CD, please mail me
about that too.
