Re: tcp/ip Net Play For Space Empires IV
Another game (Metal Knights) had an interestinf setup for this:
Anyone could log in and take their turn at any time (game were maintained on a master server). The turns could be set to a limited amount of time, say 24 hours, where everyone would have to take their turn. Another option was to advance the game as soon as the Last player finished. Combined with a tray app to let you know when you had a turn available, it worked rather well.
