Nice, LoganSnake. I'm stoked.
I was just reading the official website, and it says it's going to have Internet multiplayer, as well as play-by-email (zmog!), hotseat, and LAN play. I just realized now that Civ IV had this too, but I didn't look into multiplayer while I was playing it. I didn't even think about it because Civ III had it only on an expansion.
I've never considered it a multiplayer game, but with a PBEM option, it's certainly something I want to look into! I love the idea of an ongoing, long-term game that you can play when you have the time, rather than having to sit down and organize a game with someone. Pretty cool. This is another reason why I love turn-based games!
