Default Potential players\' multiplayer questions...

Could someone who knows all the ins and outs of SE's multiplayer features give me a thorough, detailed run-down of those features?

I really enjoy these types of games (Spaceward Ho!-ish), but have played several play-by-email games before and found them to be a serious pain in the butt - especially in the beginning when turns are so short.

I have a LAN, but no one else is on it but me... :> What are my other options?

I remember in a review on gamespot they mentioned something about starting a game host which could wait for other player turns or something like that. Is there something like this? If so, please describe in detail.

Given the conversation I've read on the board, the game is obviously missing some serious multi-player features... which is surprising in this day and age, given the game market.

I really enjoyed the demo, but prefer playing games remotely with my friends rather than taking on any AI.

I will not buy this game if LAN or play-by-email are the only multiplayer options. This in mind, will I be buying this game? :>

Please help. Thanks.
