Yep. Basically its the same as playing solo.

Wonder if for slower connections though, PBEM would be the way to go.

About the same actually. The game still operates the same way. Its not doing any more talking to the server than with pbem. All the processing is still at your end until you hit end-turn, then it sends it. But the instant send and instant receive of files makes it perfect for blitz games where a few people want to play the whole game in one day.

Well a marriage of these two types of connection and play methods would be excellent if we can pull it off.

New territory. I wouldnt mind some email conversations with other people who have admined Dom3 games about how that can best be accomplished. Especially if they also know linux.
