Tactical combat and Gold

Malfador says that TCP/IP support is in SE IV Gold. I assume this means a faster way of doing essentially the same turn-based game? Or has it been implemented in such a way that you can play tactical combat in real time against another human. In which case, I would be well pleased!

TCP/IP games are in simultaneous move. So there is no tactical combat.

Ah - as I feared... Is there any way to do tactical combat against other humans? Hot seat play for example? Or is it just impossible?

Rollo · #4 February 13th, 2002, 05:03 PM

yes, hotseat is possibble

But if it is already implemented in hotseat surely a similar implementation could be done for TCP/IP?! Come on Malfador...

"TCP/IP-hotseat" would not be feasible with more than two players, because everybody else would have to wait for two combattants to duke it out.

For two players, it would be a nice-to-have feature.

Somewhere on this forum there is a thread that deals with a SE4 Arena/Battleground idea for tactical combat only. Nice to have for a quick round of tactical combat with "one of the guys" during your lunchbreak
