Auto host??? TCP/IP |
Is there a way to have the host computer automatically process the turn after all the human players orders files have been received?
So that you can host the game from a dedicated server that nobody monitors or plays from?

I have been there but it seems to be a play be mail game. I don't want to email files around, just play a TCP/IP game without the hassle... Maybe I'm missing something with the PBW???

My friend and I just tried multi-player today...
Looks like this is a single player game that someone tacked the multi-player option onto...
and not too well implemented...

It's a multi-player game that someone just tacked the single player game option onto, actually...
Re: Auto host??? TCP/IP
okay, to be more blunt, this seemed ridiculous...
My friend and I started a game. Since he had to create his race first etc... the race I was playing (while hosting the TCP IP game) was second in the list, so not only did I have to actually pick my race to play my turn, but then verify I wanted to play a turn with my race, and finally when we were both finished, I had to process the turn.
This seems extremely weak considering MOO2 (I know this is NOT Masters of Orion) had the er, technology waaaaaaay back in the '90s to have a host machine process turns automatically...
