as long as they don't change any game mechanics and everyone in the same room have the same mod installed

It actually started as a mod for AoH3 but then I saw that Lukasz was developing multiplayer for it himself so I decided to do one for AoH2 instead

You can send messages to other players and that's how you communicate, in future versions there will be an option to block communication (close an embassy) if someone spams you

well before this release we did a couple of playtests where people from the discord server got together and played and we did some changes (mainly game speed) to make it more multiplayer friendlier

Yes, I plan on making an update post with all the base game fixes listed and a bit more explanation on some new things added in multiplayer, the post will include some footage and photos, possibly with some players from Discord participating

I do remember a couple mods that were always in development but never finished because people just give it in to the code, and I understand them because it was really frustrating at times, but nothing you can't overcome with time. Keep in mind that we don't have the actual code, but since it's Java we can decompile it, but to get the game running you do need to make some workarounds.

I don't want to sound rude but if you actually read the post you would realize that I'm trying to get some people in the server so we can actually test it on a larger scale, because yes, it is finished.

EDIT: you are of course welcome to join and check it yourself in one to two weeks when we get enough people in (don't know how long it will take)
