  • fast PBEM

    One really annoying thing about PBEM is the EXIT part of SAVE AND EXIT.
    Is there a work around for the game not to exit when you do a save turn?

    Thanks

    Don't think so, because in 99% of games (exception when you're playing 2 factions) you only control one faction and shouldn't know the password for the player after you, hence you can't do anything apart from exiting the game.
    Learn to overcome the crass demands of flesh and bone, for they warp the matrix through which we perceive the world. Extend your awareness outward, beyond the self of body, to embrace the self of group and the self of humanity. The goals of the group and the greater race are transcendant, and to embrace them is to acheive enlightenment.

      Well - it _would_ be nice just to SAVE and then go back to the starting game menu where you can load up the next turn - once your opponent plays his turn of course. I don't like having to relaunch the game. It wouldn't encourage cheating. It'd just be a faster format.

        If you're willing to leave the game up long enough for your opponent to play his turn, why not just play via TCP/IP?

          well - I've got a Mac and he's got a PC and there's this incompatibility playing TCP/IP.

          Anyway it's just a little clumsy right now. No serious complaints.
          Just thought if there was a simple work around somebody here might know.
