Default BETA testers needed (no sorry, not SEV)

Pardon me a minute while I break in with a message from our sponsors. We need beta testers. Ground floor. Chance to get on the unofficial "list" of beta testers.

Quote:

Much input needed on this multiplayer-only game. Please read the ReadMe.txt.

I only got a chance to glance at it but (I hope I dont insult the guy here) it reminds me of the old Empire game but with newer graphics. There is no AI yet but you can play yourself twice flipping back and forth, or multiplay Online with other beta-testers. Take a look. If you are interested and feel you can make suggestions that will bring the game forward then send me a PM and I will open access to the beta forum.

(And if anyone else is working on a game, talk to me)

Default Re: BETA testers needed (no sorry, not SEV)

If anybody understands network concepts a bit more than I do, I have a small query about one of the features of this game (regarding multiplayer):

Quote:
# "Save to Server" feature, allowing you and your friends from around the world to take their turn, in their own time, from anywhere.
Is it the virtual equivalent of PBEM/PBW, or am I misunderstanding the concept?

Thanks for transmitting the news Gandalf!

Yes I think thats what he is trying to achieve. Kindof like how Dominions2 does it where there host can keep running just to receive turn files easier than pbem. (afraid I havent played with the SEIV way of doing it yet) PBEM without the EMail part.
