SEIV: Play by Web

Great! Does this system support both modes (i.e. turn based/simultanious) or only one?

I'm not sure if it supports "turn based" multiplayer. I've only ever played the simultaneous one, and it certainly supports that. If the mechanics are different (which they probably are) then it would not be supported now, but it would almost certainly not be much effort to modify it in the future to accept both.

Cheers,

Admiral

well, maybe. this is still sounding pretty darn cool though.

Already is, since long before SE4.

Still need 4 more test players for my game.

I have never played a game through the net but would like to try. Dracus if my novice level doesn't put you off - I'll play (and I'll understand if you'd rather I don't)
