Sometimes, you have friends who will allow you to mount them, in-game and/or in real life, and sometimes you don't. There is a solution for both of these alternatives. Regardless, you have to log on to the game first, and you select the
"PLAY ONLINE" button. it looks something like this:


Once you have selected that, you will be faced with a screen that looks something like this:

At this point, you can either create your own server or join someone else's. let's say you are planning on hosting a server. You would click the
"CREATE SERVER" button, which looks something like this.


After you've selected that, if you have a friend that is planning to play the game with you, you want to set the game to "PRIVATE". This is crucial. You do this by clicking the "SERVER TYPE" button until it says "SERVER TYPE: PRIVATE", like so:

You now have to choose the maximum player amount. this is most useful for public games where you don't want to have to wait a minimum of 90 seconds between turns. THIS OPTION IS ALMOST USELESS IN PRIVATE GAMES. SET IT TO THE AMOUNT OF PLAYERS THAT YOU HAVE OR HIGHER, NO-ONE CAN JOIN UNLESS YOU INVITE THEM.

Now, we will move on to the subject of public games, which exist so that random people can join. IF YOU DO NOT WANT RANDOM PEOPLE TO JOIN YOUR GAME, REFER TO THE ABOVE SECTION. When creating a public game, you want to keep in mind, that occasionally, there will be a troll, and if they are spamming messages, it is permissible to boot them from the game. OTHERWISE, IT'S YOUR OWN DAMN FAULT FOR MAKING A PUBLIC GAME. To create a public game, you will need ignore the "SERVER TYPE" button, and set the "PLAYERS" to 2, 3 or 4. This is where the "PLAYERS" button is useful. The real important part here is that if you make a public game, don't expect no-one to join.



Thank you, and goodnight.
