PBEM and tactical battles ?

Crown of Glory: Europe in the Age of Napoleon, the player controls one of the crowned potentates of Europe in the Napoleonic Era, wielding authority over his nation's military strategy, economic development, diplomatic relations, and social organization. It is a very thorough simulation of the entire Napoleonic Era - spanning from 1799 to 1820, from the dockyards in Lisbon to the frozen wastes of Holy Mother Russia.

PBEM and tactical battles ?

Post by nukkxx5058 »

Hi, I can hardly figure out how a PBEM (or even TCP/IP) with 7 players can work with detailed battles ? Maybe it is simply not possible (didn't check the manual). But if tactical battles are allowed, what happend to othe players not involved in the battle ?

thanks.

There is no detailed combat in PBeM mode.

I would imagine all PBEM combat is quick calc, to streamline the play of PBEM since it's rather slow anyway. Imagine the time it would take to play out every tactical battle by every player each turn, just wayyy too long, people would quit, wouldn't work very well.

That's good, I'm glad, I wouldn't want to play PBEM any other way, now, online if it were so would be another story, but, as I said PBEM is slow enough as it is.
