PbEM has an advantage in hosting because you can process turns as "host then quit" without leaving it running all the time on your machine. One person can host a LOT of PbEM games.
TCP/IP is better for blitz games though.

As for why anyone would want a game that scripts? I love a game that scripts. I think that anyone who programs at any level on their machine would see the advantage of scripting. But its not mandatory. Just a really really cool option.

For instance;
Anyone can easily create a desktop icon for each game you are in. Set the server, port, graphics mode, music mode, turn on logging, etc etc. That way I can play solo games on my machine in full graphics/music mode but play my server games in low graphics, no music, quick in and quick out since I dont have to keep changing the server info. I can even set it to auto-email my turns if its a pbem game

Really? I assume you're refering to command switches. I couldn't get them to work (in Dom2, maybe I should try Dom3 demo)
P.S.: Demo is multiplayer compatible.
