What online multiplayer games play well over wifi/higher latency?
I’m thinking turn-based games may work okay in this respect, but which of those might you recommend besides Civ? Also what other types of games work better over wifi/higher latency than you might expect?
I know ideally you’d simply wire up your system to not have to fuss with either, but it’s not always an option in some circumstances.
Some real time strategy games might also work. I suspect Age of Empires 2 won’t be too problematic if the high latency only makes your orders take a bit longer to happen. Warcraft 3 (the original release) might also be worth checking, you can find private lobbies to use in place of Battle.Net. I suspect most Total War games might do fine, too, as even the real time battles don’t require a million clicks per second.
Old MMORPGs can also remain playable with up to ~600ms of latency, so you could give a try to WoW on private servers running older expansions, FF14 (free up to level 60, I think) or Guild Wars 2, for instance.
