Well I am changing my opinion a bit on this 1503 mp. I still hold that it is not acailable in any version other than the German version. I believe that all international versions shipped without the file to make it happen. But the file is available and when run inserts the multiplayer button into the gameplay options. I was able to connect to a server and chat with the other individual, but I was unable to select a color and connect to the game. I am thinking that had to do mainly with my router's firewall. We did not actually have enough time to work on setting my firewall to allow the server access to my computer. We are going to be working on a successful connection Saturday afternoon, I will update whether successful or not after our attempts then. The main gameplay drawback that has been reported has been in the situation of the war aspect of the game. As long as playing peaceful with 30,000 or less inhabitants, it has been reported that there are no major glitches. But as soon as ships engage in battle or mortars are fired async's and crashes occur.
BTW I am participating in this testing just to help with the possibility to bring MP in 1503 to those(in the USA and Canada) who wish to MP 1503.
