I am yetto try multiplayer SMAC, but I am QUITE anxious. However, I can olnly imagine that since a Single player game can last upward of 12 hours, a multiplayer game could last DAYS!!! But i have an IDEA! What if in one of the patches they gave an option to play by EMAIL. What if we could send our turns by email making 1/2 turns per day. And if you failed to reply by a certain time, then you forfeited your turn. Granted the game could take a year, but it would be a REAL game, not just converting SMAC into some RTS bullsh*t! (don't get me wrong I love starcraft and C&C, but this is TBS) If there is a Firaxis programmer reading this, please just think about it.
~thanks

Refer to the multiplayer forums. As I understand it, there are several good "PBEM" games starting up.
PBEM was implemented in the first patch.

Yea!
Now we can have games that goes on for months, if not years!
I hope I can stave off Windows 2000 until our game is finished!
