Question Giving my PBEM nation to another player

I'm in a PBEM and have difficulties continuing playing.
Another player has been kicked eliminated from the game.

Can I give him my password and let him continue my nation?
I.e. the host will give him the trn-files and he will execute them on his computer.

(I don't dare to just try it as he has played in the same game and Dominions is not friendly towards multiple computers / installations.)

You certainly can The other player isn't playing in the game any more, so he's only going to use his CD-key for one nation, which is fortunately fine!

Even if the other player was still playing another nation, he could play both at once without triggering the copy protection, assuming he used the same computer for both nations (you might run into trouble otherwise as you rightfully pointed out).

I think that his question aimed at the "MP ethics" to this. Technically, it's no problem.

Thank you very much.
It was a technical question, but Ich is right, - I'll have to ask the other players about the ethics. :-)
