It says in the OP that all players are welcome =/

Direct connect is where instead of emailing and receiving turns by email, you open dominions 3 and click on network, then join existing dominions server, then you input the servers IP or address, put in the port, connect, and play your turn. Its generally more reliable then PBEM, but has its own problems if the server has a dynamic IP and firewalls.

On another note the host has been screwing around trying to get PBEM to work with a direct connect game and he hasn't had any luck so far, so at the moment I will have to retract the turn in turns by email option. You can still receive email notification, or receive turns by email, but you'll have to direct connect to the server to play them. If this changes and we get it working, I'll of course notify you.
For the people that have requested PBEM I'll do my best to help you get direct connect working, but I'll understand if you wish to bow out.
