Multiplayer game, converted to PBEM?

[Cougarcat]

Hi all,

My friends and I would like to play a multiplayer game and then conclude it via PBEM. Is this possible? Thanks.

The best way is of course always to try it in a small scale (test) first. I would mean it is possible - in theory. However, it seems that Civ has a way of knowing whether a savegame is a single player or multiplayer game which could mean that it also can differentiate between the types of multiplayer games.

Is this still not possible with the most recent patches?

It seems a very obvious use case ... since there's very little to do in the first several dozen turns, my friend and I started a direct connection game and played for about an hours.

But we can't commit to being online at the same time and would like to convert the game to PBEM -- which is better now, since there's more to do.

Is there a way to just email the game file back and forth to each other?
