I dont understand why in the world someone would want to play PBEM, from what ive seen it seems like people would be playing the same game for months or even longer. Making one turn every day or every week? You cant even get into the game if youre just playing for a couple of minutes a day/week. It sounds like watching one scene of a movie every week until finally after months its over.
The netcode in Civ4 seems to be far superior to that of Civ3, so a normal multiplayer game can be played without much lag at all. It just sounds like it takes alot away from the multiplayer experience. Ive been playing civ for 11 years and i still cant believe this PBEM feature is in here, and its even more unbelievable that i saw tons of PBEM threads.
So tell me, why are you guys playing PBEM?
