[Cainehill]

Eh - host could use master password to go into each nation each turn, thus seeing if any in-game messages were sent. With nations anonymous, it would be more difficult for people to do email via email, unless a couple of people pre-conspired and then told one another which nations they had.

Again, if the host looks at each turn, cheating would be pretty obvious when Abysia sends Caelum fire gems, or Paris sends Newcastle coal.

I'd certainly be interested in playing. Might suggest looking at using Turin's Hero mod in addition to Zen's collection.
