I have a laptop where I would like to play my turns and a desktop where I would like to set up the server. Do I need a separate copy of the game for each, or can I use the same copy for both? (I do realize I can't play two players at once using one CD key, but is this true of playing one one machine and hosting on another?)

Thanks,
Merry

That will work fine.

To clarify Norfleet's comment: You only need a valid key for clients. You can set up as many servers as you like. (I, e.g., are essentially runnnng 23 game servers right now http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif )

Further clarification. You can play two players at once as long as they are both played on the same computer (I think).

You will have a problem if the game host and contains multiple nation turn files with the same serial number from different computers.

I have Dominions running on my Home PC, and laptop I have at work. I can take my turns on either computer and it works fine.


Clear as mud?
