Default Re: TCP/IP

You cannot play SE4 "realtime", as it isn't.
You can't even play it like SMAC, as you cannot access your cities (planets) if it isn't your turn.

You may call this a major design flaw (and I may agree on this), but it's something which cannot be altered without re-writing the game engine ...

Sorry to spoil your dreams ..
