There really is not a best way to play. Both are good and different.

To play by e-mail you will need to first get the players to create an empire file (.emp) and send them to you. Then set up a game and add these players. In the game mechanics window select Different Machines for the play style. If you shose Turn Based movement then you will play your turn then send the .gam file to player 2 who will then send it on to player 3 etc.

If you select Simultaneous movement then you will send the .gam file (and the .cmb and .trn files when they appear at turn 2) to all the players. They will then send you back their .plr file. You then start the game and join as the Host and just hit the end turn button. This will process the turn. Then send it back to all the players.

PBW works like a Simulteneous game except the server does the turn processes. You will get e-mailed the .game file and then send the .plr file to the PBW server.

Hope that made sense.

Against humans, both are interesting. Against the AI on finite, the AI will eventually consume all resources -- it has no planning ability for the finite resources
