Re: PBW, First Impressions.. (Multiplayer discussion)
I have only participated in three or four of these multiplayer turn events, and from what I have seen, if well organized and well attended, they run realatively smoothly.
TCI/IP play has some areas for improvement, I sent Aaron an email on that a week or so ago.
PBEM I have done as well, very very slow.
PBW is by far the fastest method of game play for larger Groups of people. PBW processes the turn automatically, and gives everyone a rallying point to get their turns from.
The only limit to PBW are us who are on dial up.
In the first 50 turns of AUK, we averaged about 12 turns an hour once the game got going. The game Last night was a lot of fun and we processed 24 turn in little over 4 hours. That was better than I expected.
The next game will be started much earlier, medium tech start, STANDARD medium midlife map, no thrills and whistles. (To keep the size of the game file down.)
