yeah, but it depends on how long you are going to play for. besides, figure how long it would take to do that IP game, then multiply by 10 to get the number of DAYS for a PBEM game at 1 turn a day, and wonder why people want it. this is basically the same boat that all strat games have been in, from SMAC, to the new CIV games.. unless you want to play something mindless like starcraft or AoE, its going to take some time.

even at 1 hour a day, an IP game should take about 1/4th the time of a PBEM game.
