tcp/ip Net Play For Space Empires IV
I and a bunch of gaming friends have been getting together for the past few months to play SPACE EMPIRES IV (SE4) hot seat. We have been have a very good time and everyone enjoyed the games. But, we all say wouldn't it be soooo much better and easier if SE4 would just permit regular tcp/ip net play and enter the real world of multiplayer internet gaming.
I know that there are many here that are perfectly happy to play solo or those who prefer the glacial pace of a pbem game; but, I do not find either of these options that appealing to me. I have to believe that I am not alone in this viewpoint.
Does anyone know what the status of implenting tcp/ip play for SE4 is? I know early on, when SE4 was first released, there was talk about tcp/ip play being implemented in a "few months." Well, a few months have passed and I am hoping that tcp/ip has not been forgotten.
Tcp/ip would once again move SE4 to the forefront of my and many others' gameplay hit list.
