1. Can you assign a time limit to a turn, as you can in Age of Wonders II, for instance?

2. How does the battle replay work in MP? If 1 player watches 1, do all the others have to watch as well?

3. How can anyone enjoy playing PBEM

1) In the case of TCP/IP games, yes. Minutes or days.

2) You only see your own battles and battles where you have a stealthy unit.

3) It's mainly for the poor ones who never gets any spam. With PBEM games they get at least a couple of mails a week.

Type of Game: PBEM or TCP/IP
# of Players: Lots

Favored Race: will change on a whim; moderately less crap as Abysia than with most other races

Skill Level: Newbie

Preferred Server Type: Medium to high 'diplomacy', like the Dom1 game transcript on faithful.dk. Would like to see some server provisions for 'pantheon (allied) victory', since it sucks to team up with someone, beat everyone, and then have to fight each other just to end the game instead of shaking hands and calling it quits.
