I am a little unsure of what exactly TCP/IP will do to enhance the game. Will someone please explain this to me. Thank you.

testing; quicker play, ESPECIALLY over lans..; playing mods that aren't supported by PBW without PBEM hassles; playing quick games

quicker play as in the turns will go faster? An this will be good for multiplayer right.

Quicker play as in less waiting for people to process turns, recieve turns, etc.

The death of PBW and PBEM=-( Who's going to keep playing PBEM whn they can have a TCP/IP game?

Those of us who can only commit enough time for one turn a day (not to mention those with slow dialup connections) will probably lose out=-(

I think that you would be surprised at how many people have only enough time for one or two turns a day (or two)... And besides, do you know how much of a hassle it will be to try to coordinate 20 people into getting Online at the same time?
