Well, sure if i have all day to read all the forum, i will find all the answers posted here, but i havn't... take a look

Well, since Dragon, Nebula and me we are playing BC in Multiplayer whit AI, we have a couple of dudes that maybe somebody can answer here:
-Is always true that the player whit more wide "bandwhith" must be always the "Host"?
-Which is the limit of bandwhith for a multiplayer game? The 56 K users are completly "out" or it's just a mith?
-Exist another server for BC multiplayer? (I suppose not)
-How many people of all BC community are insterested and could be players in multiplayer games? Exist an stat of that number of people somewere?
-What interest could exist, for example, between the people of this forum about to participate in a future "Multiplayer Contest"? (answer here)

If ya have any of this questions already answered, please leave a post here...

Well I never tried playing with a 56k Modem, but there is a simple rule:
The more players you have the more bandwidth you need.
So Playing 1on1, a 56 should be ok.

So, you mean that if a player whit 56K, that is not a host, wants to join a game whit 5 players, for example, he will be in trobles? But if he join a game whit 1 only, could work...?
