It should be OK, as long as you can all run the same mod set, if one is in use.

Disclaimer: I've never tried it

I am interested in doing a PBEM game, so if you get one going, please consider inviting me. Thanks!

Does anyone have a definitive answer for this question?

Edit: Never mind. I bought it anyway, and the save from a PBEM game I have going loaded fine. I guess we'll know for sure when the turn gets cycled back to me if everything worked out okay.

PBEM between a PC and a Mac does work. I've played through 965AD, Mac to PC, without any snags. Wish I could say I've COMPLETED a game, but, well... it's Play by Email -- it tends to take rather a long time. I'll keep you posted if anything goes screwy.

I'd love to try PBEM'ing a mod game, but so far only a handful of graphics replacement mods seem to have been found compatible.
