Default Re: Where to find a game?

Let me get this straight,
So if i wanted to i could pick all that stuff. post that i am looking for players and have people email me thier turns?

I could decide when the game would host? could I say m-f No weekends, once a day at 5pm for example?
Then once I have the emails how do I drop them into the game directory? How do they get their games back? to i email back to them? Just copy the saved game to everyone?

If its that easy i am down.

Cor, just read pages 29 - 32 of the Dom 3 manual. Both types of MP, PBEM and network hosting are explained there and should answer all your questions. If you do host a game, remember its a long term commitment, perhaps 6 months+ depending on turn around and a certain amount of hassle.

Oh also one other thought, if you're hosting a game for your first MP experience it might be worthwile to post it as a newbie game. You'll probably get a bit more leeway to experiment with different things that way, a lot of things play significantly differently in MP than in SP because you're not used to your oppenents doing things like building SC (Super Combatants) or countering your strategy.

Countering strategies is really evil. I make a strat and then it gets countered and I loose. Seems like I have no knowledge on how to react.
