Multiplayer games idea

[Tris]

I've thought of a solution to my trouble with possibly having to get multiple copies if I want to play multiplayer with my friends.

Would it be possible to make it possible (haha - and English is my first language) to spawn several "multiplayer only" copies of Dominions 2 from the same CD. These would be unable to host, and could only submit games to the host running the full Version installed from the same CD that they were.

This way I could get my (less enthusiastic) friends playing Dominions 2 with me, but they couldn't play Single player or even multi with anyone else without paying for it.

I've read about the "host opens up turn file briefly" fix, but not only is that awkward, it feels a bit like theft.

Let me know what you think.
