Kana... 100 MB combat replay files are terrible things. How do you play PBEM/PBW with that? You need the replays to see how combat went, to refine ship designs and such.

Oh I agree...yet I just installed NWN2 on my computer, and that took up 6 GB of space. The 1st patch requires that you have 7 GB free on your HD to even run the patch. I know this isnt the same type of game or anything like that. I'm just saying that games are going to require more of your computer weither its a highend RPG, or a lowend strategy game. I would much rather play a strategy game, but I accept the fact that improvements are going to require more resources. It would be easier, if we didnt have to use a PBEM/PBW format. CivIV for example has a pitboss mode, which allows a free standing game to be logged into and a turn played. Or so I've heard. I have played CivIV MP, and enjoy it for the 3 or so hours you can invest in it at one sitting. You then save the game, and make a new date to play. Yet there are many advantages to the PBEM/PBW style, especially the play when you have time advantage. I'm certainly wowed initially by stunning graphics, but in the end gameplay and depth are always more important. Heck I would be quite happy if SE5 was SE3/SE4 with the added modding options.
