Hi First of all, i'm really pleased to see that Age of Wonders is still played. If only i knew it earlier...
Anyway. I've been playing age of wonders for more than 7 years now, i really love this game. But, because i found no one else playing it, i've always been in solo mode.
Recently i met a very good friend i didnt see for ages, and we found out that we both LOVE Age of Wonders... the only problem is that we cant play on multiplayer... and we dont know why.
Could you please help me ? I'm really really sad and disappointed... so many hours of fun compromised because of such a stupid thing...
When i run the game, press "scenario", then "internet", and finally "host game", the game freezes 1 sec, then nothing happens. My friend says he cannot find the game in the list, even when he types my ip adress
Here are the only things i know :
- Ports 6073 and 2302 are opened in both TCP and UDP.
- Gamespy Arcade is installed (i dont even know if it's still useful), but when i run it, it says i've got an unallowed client which won't allow me to speak in Gamespy Arcade's chatrooms, but still allows playing.
- When i run gamespy arcade, it says than my IP adress is different in and out of my ports (or smthg like that >.< i'm a bit a retard with those kind of things, sorry >.<).
- My modem is a router, and i had to open ports in order to play to other games (even with firewall disabled)
- I've got Zone Alarm (fire wall) and i pressed "accept" when it sent me the security alert when trying to host.
- I've got Avast antivirus
- I tried to disable all of these security tools (antivirus + firewall)
... i'm really sorry to ask you that way but... honestly i tried everything i knew... and got no more idea on what to do.
Thanks from the deepest of my heart for your attention, and moreover the time you spent reading this topic.
Looking forward to reading from you soon :s

P.S.: I'm sorry about my quite bad english, i'm not american or english at all : i'm french :)
Thanks again.
[EDIT] ... I forgot the most important : i'm talking about Age of Wonders : Shadow magic, ver 1.30 (since it's the latest one i've found on the net)
