Nope you can't do that unfortunately. You will need to either create a public internet game & password it, or use a 3rd party tool like Hamachi, to create a private virtual network - so you can see each other on the network within the game.daztrouk said:

I've got no idea how to use it, but the tools seem to work. I can place trees, roads and flood fill the area with different terrain types. I can't work out how to place water though. I wonder if there's a tutorial somewhere...

yep, right I can now get the tools to work, but it's not very intuitive, Deff need a tuition. I want to make a big 8 player multilayer map, with a middle island surround with water, the island will have blue tiberium, with a few structures and about 12 bridges and 2 land mass connections.

yeah similar idea to what i have, red alert 2 was so much easier to make maps for!
tutorial videos here, right click links and save as.
as they dont seem to load in browser and the launcher doesn't work so don't download that. scroll down to the yellow section.

Just downloading first part now, so I don't know how good it is.
Edit - it is for generals but it's identical so far.

acidhell any luck on understanding how to use it yet?
file > new >
Select size you want
Boarder size set to 15
Height to 0
Now you need to raise the terrain, as you can't lower it less than the intial terrain height.
So click on the Height Brush (H)
Select brush width to like 50000 This just insures all of map is raise, dont worry it wont look that big but once clicked all is raised.
Set raise height to 20 good starting place.
like so
Now left click anywhere on the map and it should raise the terrain level.
You'll have to look at the edge of the map, it should have raised when you left clicked.
Now where going to add the water layer.
Click the lake/ocean tool (the same principle can be used for river and wave)
like so
Now click on each corner and keep holding down and drag it so the map is in the middle, like this.
Set the alpha depth to 1 (makes it easier to see and water height to around 12 assuming you raised terrain by 12-13ish. If you see what I mean
we can now use the lower terrain tool, and water will suddenly appear
Like so.
Just use the dig and mound tool to create what terrain you want. If you don't want water in all your ditches then you need to move or create separate water layers.
The terrain level tool is excellent for manipulating large/small areas to the same heigh.

cheers mate, ill give another go at making a map soon. I had a similar idea to you, but a 4 player map with an island filled with blue tiberian in the middle.
Now you have the basic terrain with some water, you need to add the players.
Select the way point tool (w)
and place way points where you want players.
Now right click to deselect, then left click on one of the way points.
Do this for each way point until you reach the required number of players max 8.
now we're going to add some player conquerable buildings. So select the place object (P)
Go to Neutral > structure
Youll find structures like Tiberium spike, refinery ect in here.
