Re: Command line options?
I read a while ago that the next patch will actually include support for command line startups.
Hopefully this will solve some of the tediousness involved in PBEM games.

Re: Command line options?
Command line options? (You guys still using a DOS prompt?)
hehe, I know what you want them for.
Itd be nice to have it do everything you want instead of all that clicking

You don't need an actual DOS prompt; you can always use the "Run" command from the Windoze start menu. If you really wanted to get tricky, you could create a shortcut to the executable and play with the run command in the shortcut properties to put the appropriate parameters in.
Of course, those running the game using a Windoze emulator on Linux systems probably have their own tricks...

Re: Command line options?
Yep, and if you're playing by ICQ, FTP, or LAN so that the players' turn files just "appear" in your savegame folder, it would be relatively easy to make a little app that would know when the player files are all in the proper folder, run the host with the proper command line and wait for it to finish, then send the result files back to the remote players.
I'm hoping for these features so I could write such an app in VB.  |

Aready done. Is called PBEM Helper and is available free. There's a posting for it here somewhere...
