Or at least that's how it used to be, I don't know if they changed it over the last few years.
I definitely recommend buying this game.

Are you sure I am sure it used to work, as Mobhack said use first 5 save slots & dont use that slot for anything else it will fail at some point.

When? Because as far back as I can remember, CD and free players couldn't play by email campaigns. PBEM campaigns were a feature of CD owners only.

PBEM campaigns are for CD owners only.

Other PBEM should work if one side is a free demo user, provided that both use slots 1-5 as the free game only has access to those ones.
