Can you use a headset to talk with and hear other players (allies)?

How can it be hooked up?

Hey All,

I'm a little tired of typing messages and/or using my cell phone to conference call with my team mates. Is there a way to hook up a headset and mic instead? If anyone knows, I'd be grateful if they'd fill me in.

From what I've heard you can use Ventrilo or Xfire, but it might take a little doing to get all of your teammates connected. That's one option, there might be better ones.

There is no voice chat built into the game, but you can always use a 3rd party program like Wrath89 said

I like TeamSpeak 3. You can download the server and the client. Setup the server and you then use your client to connect to your server using IP address. If you are on a router the IP you use will be your internal router IP (eg 192.168.0.101) and your friends will connect with your external IP which you can get at whatsmyip.org. IP is like an internet phone number.

You can also setup different rooms for each team.

It would be could though, although I yet to find a strategy game except for Empires (steam mod version) that has built-in voice... it always have been text based which is interesting
