Yes, it is. These are the best CtP II news for me so far. Especially taking in account I only bought it yesterday
. The reason why PBEM wasn't available is that the buttons for both HotSeat and PBEM were out of screen, somewhere, so that it was impossble to see them. All you need is to modify the file, as Mr Ogre tells it in his topic's "Oh, what the heck" first post, and you get it.
I urge MarkG to close the "Do you want PBEM to be added in CtP II" poll, as it is no longer actual.
Note that some, who have a cracked executable, can't go past the PBEM setup process, but yet can participiate in the games created by others, for whom it works.
I think it would also be good to upload the file with neccessary modifications to Apolyton, in case some newbie just for some reason can't modify the file in required way.
But, now I am going to enjoy PBEM.
Good luck!
