I love this game in Multi-player! The Play by Web is fun and EASY(even for me!
.) The only problem with it (for now) is that it only supports Version 1.3 of Se4(not 1.35), the 1.3 patch I believe can be found at the site(if not, someone else can tell you where to find it). The PBEM helper does support 1.35 but does not support web-based email (ie, Hotmail), so turns must be emailed manually. Other than that it has been damn fun. There is also a few Groups at YahooGroups.com for se4 multi-play by email.
Hope this helps.
(and S_J, congrats at becoming a General!).
