Default Re: mp games?

If I remember rightly SE IV doesn't use a hosted pbem, players pass from one to the next?

Stars! and Dominions 2 work very well on pbem because you send your turns to a host who then gens the turns. So a 4 player turn is not delayed as it gets passed from one player to the next.

Apologies if i'm wrong on the SE.

Thanks, Zen, that's what I was looking for.

Tals, SEIV has its own server which, essentially, automates PBEM games. It's slick and painless for players and even a tyro can set up and administer his own game.
