multiplayer email mode

[gwgardner]

Mrslobodan and I are playing pbem email. It's working perfectly, and the turn replay option is a big win.

It has most of the functionality needed for Slitherine PBEM++. Any thought to implementing that?

It has worked good so far, only "bug" I've seen so far is this:

ORIGINAL: Mrslobodan

I'm playing a multiplayer game with gwgardner and when I pressed to save the game after my turn there was a bug that made enemy units visible for me through the black "calculating supply screen", so I saw units not the map.

Also I don't understand why these games have no actual online mode like other games do. It would be nice if you're on teamspeak or something with friends if both could connect to the game and just wait while the other makes his turn, no email.
You can always browse internet or whatever while you wait.
I just wanted to mention this because I told my brother that we both need to get this game when it comes out but the thing about play by email really made him less interested

That's what I was wondering since SC3 was announced. Will the finished game permit (SC2 proven) Multiplayer via LAN connection? [&:]

LAN connection would be cool. Can just use a LAN program to make a server. I use Hamachi for games and it works great.

yeah me too.
