Abandon planet!

Sure it's viable. And I recomend it.

I can host the game if you'd like. I don't really need to play in it. You two can play each other, and invite others if you want.

First thing you have to decide is game settings. Then you have to create and send me your .emp files. I would then generate the first turn and send it back to you and you would play it. fter each turn you would send me your .plr file and I would send you back the next turns .gam file.

Easy.

Another good way to learn fast is to play a simultaneous turn game by yourself against the AI on your own computer. Then you can play each turn and do the host part and process the next turn with no waiting on anybody else. That's a quick way to learn the differences between sim-turn multiplayer and standard single player turn based SEIV.

THe two major differences are your orders don't happen the secoond you give them, they wait until the host process the turn. And there is no tactical combat, so you have to adjust the way you design ships and the makeup of your fleets.
