You can set it to no automatic turns and process the turn only when you kick the last player to make room for the next.

I think it would make a more interesting game to limit control by turns. Ideally, you'd get a sizable group of players and rotate through them. With a good mix of skill levels, it could be an interesting way for good players to try to educate poor players. It would also make an interesting exercise in documenting your empire's organization and plans in game so the later players don't get confused.

I'm not sure, but I think PBW might let players who are pending join download the .gam file. If so, you could set it up with a whole bunch of unused player slots so people could join, download the turn, and withdraw.

That could work... Can you start a game with open spaces?
