Direct IP Connect?
Can you connect to another's IP address with Civ3:PTW? In other words, do you have to use Gamespy?

Does port forwarding work successfully from a router? Did Firaxis list the ports needed?

Thanks,

Direct IP isn't supported currently (coming in a patch soon, possibly the next one), however you *don't* need to use gamespy. You can connect through the Multiplayer menu in game even if Gamespy isn't installed on your computer. I don't know about port forwarding, but the ports you need to open for firewalls are listed.
