Switching PBEM-opponent to AI

[KAreil]

Hi @ all!

Is there a possibilty to continue a PBEM-battle against the AI?


Unfortunately my opponent has quit after the first few turns and I don't want to abort the battle. There is a small background-AAR running and I don't want my story-effort go to waste...

Certainly not. A PBEM is by definition a game between two humans.

Also, any implementation of such a "feature" would be an invitation to cheat by enabling the feature in order to find out what your human opponent's force was etc.

Yeah, I'm afraid you're out of luck on that. That would be, as Andy pointed out, a HUGE invitation to cheat PBEM.

No problem, can't say that I didn't expect something like this...would be really easy to exploit this function.


Plan B:
Is anybody here willing to continue the battle for my opponent?

It's a small battle between Germany and Denmark in about 2011 and only the first few turns are played.

I'm still a beginner with PBEM-games and playing Denmark - so it would not be too difficult for any volunteer... :o

Finding a human opponent replacement will be the best solution IF you can get his game password.

I suppose I can play in year 2011, but I'm better used to 1941.
Please PM me.

If its a secure game so requires a password the game is dead as it has to be played on the same computers it was started on.

If it is an unsecure game however another player could indeed take over if they wished.

if you set basic security you can use the pass of your opponent. but you should request the pass to your opponent.
