Thoughts on my first games Remove this text

well, I played 2 games today

the first was with someone from france and someone from portugal (maybe or spain)

the game started out pretty good, but got laggy as more and mroe cities were built, we decided to end it arround the time I got to 12 or so

it was normal played with simultaneous turns

the second game that I played also went on for an horu or so (and did not have the lag problems)

it was played with someoen from florida and california (I am in maryland)

it was also simultanous but was mass regicide

so far, with the exception of having many explorers at the get go I have not noticed a big difference in the mass regicide games

my two unsuccessful games was one turnless one with the two people from the US (it was about as laggy as the one with people from europe), and a game I tried to host with 6 or 7 people (That might have been the problem there)

BTW, a suggestion I noticed for something to fix

I couldn't see who else was int he lobby

and it was hrad to follow by who spake up

also, I had no clue in the lobby who I had good ping with (I classify good png as being mostly under 200, great ping is mostly under 100)

the lobby needs a list of players in the lobby, and your pings with them

GameSpy Arcade has a better lobby, just don't try to launch or join games from there. Enter and host games from the MP option in PtW itself.
