do u guys too do nothing while doing turns?
When I load game all I need to do is press 'enter'

PS
Maybe we could arrange meeting online and push few turns forwad with online game? (if it is possible to switch between pbem and internet modes)

Do u use hamachi?

I put password on... does it change anything?

Then only you can see your civ.
I prefer PBEM.
What is hamachi?

Hamachi is a tool that helps in multiplayer games...
(It emulates LAN over interenet)

I actually move 3 pieces around on every turn. Its quite exciting.


The problem with PBEM game is that it can't be played as MP on a lan or on gamespy.

The problem with MP games is that there is no way to keep several people together to finish a game. You can't move a MP game to PBEM after.

It would be nice if games can evolve to different formats as we need them.

I had downloaded it.
We must wait for Larven.

I know that you can use any game in Pitboss, but I don´t know how it woks, and the computer is like a server.

so, are you saying that we cant switch pbem to online(and back) at all?
are you sure?

its werid because such possibility was present in very old firaxis games (eg smac in 1999)

I have not figured it out. Maybe with the Pit Boss. I have never played pit boss either.

We can experiment with another BTS game if you want. Don't need to only run one game.

I would not mind playing one on one against you.

I have a game going 1VS 1 with Diatsub in Warlords
