Dont lose heart guys. Myself, major, nolan and munster have played a number of games with little lag. Starting a GC 1936 with 4 players, we found we could play on normal speed until the spainish CW, then the game had to slow to below normal. Once the war was finished lag improved again until the Jap vs Chiniese war, which basicaly slowes the game down to below normal speed, which isn ot so bad as there is alot to do if you play the game properly.
The keys is every player must be on 128 upload, if there is one person on 64 then it slows the game down greatly. Once major war starts in Sep 39 then slow speed is the best you can do, there is simply to many battles and to much lag to go faster. Only issue is other player Eg Russia has to be a bit patient waiting for its major war with Germany to start.
My phone line is being installed today probably as i speak (im still in perth). Im about to test the number and see if i can get DSLAM in my area, (fingers crossed). Even a 256 connection for the host is a big improvement with all clinents having 128 the game should be fine. If a couple of clients have 256 as well it will make the game run smoother and allow for maybe 6 players. But i think for 6 players we will need 512 or higher which hopefully i will have towards the end of the month when im back home in melbourne.
