Army Men RTS Forums

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Arms:

All great things fade over time, including this awesome game. Enthusiasts like ourselves keep the game fresh with mods and AI, but the sustainability of a game relies on online play and accessibility.

This game will only survive with online multiplayer. We need to rebuild the online multiplayer functionality of this game. Computer players get boring; humans are more fun and complex enemies. Online play will attract more players.

I know there were some multiplayer solutions in the past (e.g., Game Ranger), but these workarounds are no longer active or compatible with modern machines. I am no networking expert, but there must be a way to convert Army Men’s local multiplayer to global multiplayer.

Does anyone know how we can begin to reintroduce global multiplayer into Army Men? If you’re interested in helping make this happen, sound off here, and I’ll start a Discord group or similar.

Over and out,

SGT Four Leaf Tapback

Welcome :)

This probably isn't the forum channel for this discussion. I have glanced at a few solutions in other channels, none of which I've looked into yet. But if anyone wants to make an AMRTS/ExFClan public Discord, I'll join that.

Hey everyone, there is an unofficial Army Men RTS Discord already running with a bunch of people if anyone wants the link to that, just add and message me on discord: @rarefy
