Hi, im new to aoczone and the competetive scene, and i apologize if i posted this topic in the wrong forum. Lately i have been watching games of AoE2 on youtube and found it interesting. But i didnt really feel ready for real players yet, so i asked my younger brother if he wanted to play with me over LAN. As you have figured out, it didnt work out at all, so im wondering what i did wrong. I read that both players must have the same patch of the game/ same version, which we dont have, we have one standard AoE2 CD and one for the Conquerors, so i understand that it wont work since of that. But is something else required? When one of us creates a game, the other one cant even see the game. As said before, i am completely new to this, so i am sorry if i isnt providing you with vital information regarding the problem, but thanks in advance!
