Default Re: Multiplayer TCP or IPX?

Yeah, the advantage over pbem is faster
turns. And some of it can be simultaneous,
rather than a hotseat type of game (well, depending on the implementation of the game).
MOO II was great that way...played hundreds
of turns in a day...until the thing crawled
to a halt or crashed...

Even Call to Power II (not an outstanding
game, but ok) is fun over a LAN. A little
slow because movement is serialized, but
planning/improvements and all the rest
can be done in parallel.

So I guess the answer is, there's no stated
plans for tcp/ip? I couldn't find anything
on the site anywhere that mentioned it.
