:D

Using DOSBox with the included ipxnet utility. Also had to open firewall UDP port to allow another player to join the server. The games were played through the internet. You can call dosbox like DOSBox.exe \war.exe -c "ipxnet startserver and the other player can join by calling DOSBox.exe \war.exe -c "ipxnet connect ". Also dosbox configuration needs to have ipx=true inside the [ipx] section. Hope that helps. :) Within the game you just use node 0 in the multiplayer section for both players one after the other and you're in.

The time it takes for the peons to gather gold from distant mines is really long and also puts the peons at risk of getting killed on the way by the enemy. It's much easier to go after the enemy's economy instead if they attempt that and cripple them with troops once they've lost economy because of the lost peons (they do cost gold to replace). For the wizards, yeah that's just bad playing. But this video is 7 years old and I was streaming and commentating on the game which takes a lot of concentration out of playing the game. :)

@@Yshxod yeah, mining from a distance does involve some risk but the tradeoff is you always have money to spend. I literally never stop training peasants so the distance doesn't matter much. I just space out my army from my town to the gold mine. Or depending on the terrain you can cut enemies off at bridges or use trees as a wall. I suppose in theory I could have mined all the gold on the map and I'm left with just peasants who can't fight back but it's never happened to me. Plus with summoners, running out of gold doesn't matter, you just wait til your magic replenishes. My main strategy is to use archers defensively early then send in waves of ultimate summons. I stop training everything but summoners and peasants to the point it looks ridiculous with like 20 peasants and 20 summoners in my town and nothing but summons and fire in my opponents town. Dunno if this helps or not but I've been able to play on gog.com on a modern computer.

I've never seen a blue demon, but yes. Can confirm red elementals.
