Hello everyone,
Please be advised that
Play by Web for Space Empires IV is now open to all comers!
Many thanks to all the beta testers and the administrative team!
The genesis of this web site was a simple idea: while PBEM play in Space Empires IV is nice, there are often drags on its efficiency. The host has to manually run each turn; forcing turns to be played after a certain amount of time may not work if everyone's turns haven't been sent; and if someone drops out, it's often hard to find a new player to take his place.
PBW effectively combats these and other issues by automating the process by which turns are sent back and forth, and by which the turns are run. There are still some small bugs in this process, the most important of which is that it does not work with the current SE4 patch. (Aaron at Malfador has promised this will change with the next patch! Until then, you should use Version 1.30, the patch for which can be downloaded here.) In this sense the PBW site is still a work in progress, and you'll see changes from time to time that will be detailed in the news or in the forums.
We look forward to seeing you soon!
Cheers,
Admiral & Team
