Aow1 online? i used to play it 5 years ago at gs with many other guys. When sm did hit, the aow1 lobby there lost all players.
Hamachi and msn is a way to go, would prefere hamachi though, i can be in msn but not availble for games, thats a bit of a problem in instant messengers.
I currently use the warlock mod, its fun and a bit more balanced for online games than the standard version. You can't make op leaders from scratch, defense rating is expensive a lot(8pts) and is limited to 5 max at the custom screen, leaders are more item dependent.
In online games we played 99% of the games with leaders on, cause its fun and speedy. But people needed to have expierence too, FC was used a lot too, the only restriction was against heroes and leaders fc was not allowed.(unlike aow sm where you do fc vs indies and all battles TC vs humans)
Big games could be finished in 2 hours this way, quite many dying to indies as they where too greedy to lvl their leaders with indie xp in FC.
