ADOM II needs access to adom.de to play?

Greetings,

I am a new player of ADOM and a very excited enthusiast of ADOM II. I tried years ago to play ADOM but just couldn't wrap my mind around the controls. Anyway, long story short I'm back and giving these awesome games another go. However, when I try to run ADOM II it wants to connect to http://www.adom.de and there are security measures that block this from happening. I managed to disable this security and get the game to run.

My question is: Can I get ADOM II on my laptop to where there is no internet connection required?

Thanks in advance and cheers

You need an internet connection the first time you run the adom-ii.jnlp file. Once you run that, a green ADOM II shortcut should show up on your desktop. Running ADOM II from this shortcut does not require an internet connection.

Yes, I did get the green shortcut. However, when I try and run it it still wants to connect to adom.de. When it finds out it cant it shuts down.

Odd; when I run it from the shortcut I get the security warning, but after clicking the run button it still works with no internet. I'd suggest running it a few more times with an internet connection. Other than that I don't know how to help; ADOM II has a really weird install process :(
