Bump (Good question)

Hmm, do you mean with the host NOT playing in the game itself?

I imagine the PBW RTC would look exactly the same as that from the outside.

Yeh, like, the way gold as the tcp/ip games, have a host comeputer that doesn't need a player at it to click the 'prossess turn' button

That is a very handy feature. The Dom2 game has it. I cant even picture running that now with a host also being a player.

Even handier in my opinion is the "VGAPlanets" method of having a seperate host.exe which can have a much smaller CPU footprint.

so does anybody know how to do this? how does the PBW prossess turns? i can imagine it would be sompthing LIKE what i'm trying to do...
