Multiuser and Firewalls

[unmerged(3564)]

My copy of EU hasn't even arrived yet, but I'm
thinking ahead. What is the connection model
of multiuser EU? To put it differently, is one
PC the "server" to which the others create
connections, or are connections made symmetrically
between machines? The reason I ask is that my
home/office network is behind a firewall, such that
I can connect *out* to any machine I like, but
*incoming* connections will be refused. I should
be able to play multiuser in a server model, so long
as I am not the "host". If it's a symmetric connection
model, well, I guess it's just going to be me versus
the computer.

Absolutely correct

With your firewall set up, you WILL be able to play, just not host

If you really want to host

And I'm not sure if that was part of your question, you will need admin access to your Firewall and some know how. Either allow the port this game uses to accept data, or set up the machine you use as the DMZ host.
