To spread out bases: reap great rewards.
To trouble native life: reaped by great rewards.

Rastapopoulos:

It's a neat idea (using the scenario editor to effect "trades" ) but unfortunately wouldn't work

I'm in the same boat as you all are - hit "scenario" in the menu and you get the message "cannot open scenario editor in a multiplayer gamr" - or some such words.

All we can do is play the turns sequentially using the stored passwords to ensure that players aren't bending the rules (the spot audit), or to concoct a scoring system for relative ranking that's better then the simplistic AC score (as I've done in the six Forum Wars games)

And, of course, sub temproarily for an absent player, or send the password to a replacement player. That's really all we can do.

It'd be neat if there were a master password that unlocked the scenario editor for just the purpose you suggested, but alas ....

Well, if we need to trade techs, I guess we can always use probes.

To resend a move: easy.
