If we dont play at least one match of Age of Empires 2 Im not coming!

I'm in for wc2 but only after fiddling for 45minutes with a single lan cable to direct connect our 2 (heavy!) pc's without a lan nor internet! (if i hear the word wifi i will turn my head sideways in confusion).
Did you need a crossover cable for that back then? I think later on the NICs could figure that out themselves.
Fiddling with network settings to get it to work is literally why I remember Warcraft.
Where the first two hours are trying to get the network stable.

Day of defeat!!!!
I used to play so much of that with my now spouse lol
