Sure you can. Just set it to host on a schedule, so that it will host at time X, where X is 2 seconds from now.
Ahhh... I see. Essentially, the game would have to be locked as "Quickhost Only" (when all turns are in) or "Autohost Only" (at a specified time) when the game is created. Hmmm... for Autohost Only, the only cheating mechanism would be to play with the computer clock, which is a lot of work and can cause problems, unless you dedicate a computer for Dominions cheating and avoiding time-limited software demos. But "Quickhost Only" should work flawlessly... for net games. |
