I want to play Age of Empires/Rise of Rome online. Where can I find other people to play against?
You can play on Gamespy and a few other places now the Zone has gone, or directly by IP and through MSN.
How many CDs do I need for multiplayer games?

Virus Killers and Firewalls are the most common reasons for this. Consult your Virus Killer documentation to see if it is blocking the connection, or our Router/Firewall FAQ.
