When you connect to the server, and enter your kingdom, the client saves two files that reflect your turn: NationName.2h and NationName.trn (e.g. pythium.2h and pythium.trn).
The problem is that you need to connect with a Dom2 client to the server. With SEIV, you just connect to the server with any old browser, download the files, copy them to disk and then bring them to the computer with the game installed.
Is that SEIV or PBW?

It sounds like the standard email files arrangment done thru a web page. That can be done with Dom2 also (the game is a PbEM game). The "connect to the server" is an option added later which alot of players preferred.

The .2h file is the file your game creates (2h stands for "to host") and the .trn is what the host sends back to you.
