Re: How do you play over email?
So basically the problems of a network come from three things.
1. Protective people of their IP
2. Having a crappy computer/connection
3. Needing to run more than 2 or 3 games simultaneously and/or at all times.
My max I will run is 3 servers 24/7. I just wish windows supported text mode.
That means PBEM is an alternative and the Network is the real deal.
My point is, why bother with PBEM when you can get into a network game? I understand if you have a problem with revealing IPs or having a bad connection or something, but if you have the ability to use or run a network, WHY NOT?
Edit: Only the host needs a good connection. Dial-up will do fine if you are a client.
