hi all ive only played the demo of se4
i found it a most enjoyable experience and am therefore thinking of perchasing se4 gold when it is released .

my question is this -in pbem can you play with more than 2 players? im not really available for extended tcp/ip play, but the thought of playing
the same map against several players over a period
of time in pbem is most appealing

thanks in advance

You can play SE4 with up to 20 players via EMail IIRC. And yes, PBEM/PBW is a hell of a lot of fun!

SE4 supports up to 20 players.
TCP/IP, PBW, PBEM all support 20 players as well.

As an added bonus, you can start a TCP/IP game, play the first (fastest) 20 rounds when you are all together, and then migrate to the PBW server once the turns get longer and players are no longer all available at the same time.

If you want to check out PBW we are getting together a Gold Demo game. Looking for 10 players. Sounds like it might be what you are looking for.
