what are the advantages of TCP/IP

capnq · #1 December 5th, 2001, 02:25 AM

Most of the older threads about TCP/IP broke down into two camps:

"We want TCP/IP!"

vs.

"Why would anyone want to play SE IV that way?"

I don't expect to see any significant drop in the number of PBW players.

For most of us would love to paly TCP/IP when we can but since we usually can't PbW is what to do.

Will the new TCP/IP allow for turn based based games or just simultaneaous? Either way, it sounds like this will make it a lot easier to play.

Also, does this allow games to be played directly over the internet, then, I assume?

That answered the question. Had I read a little more closely, my Last post wouldn't have been needed. Thank you Geoschmo.

I would be really nice if games could be played with both TCP/IP and PBW. When all players have time there could there be an TCP/IP sprint and after that the game would continue as normal PBW game.
