Ok,I haven't played any Online SMAC games,but I want to play a game on X-mas break.How long does it take to play a PBEM or IP game?How do I start one?I have found AI can't prepare one for fellow humans,but I've Transended on SP.Please respond.
The last PBEM game I finished took six months. I imagine a complete IP game would take quite some time to finish (six hours?). But depending on what setting you select the time it takes could be minimized.
There is a multi player PBEM tournament going on in the multiplaying forum. If you were interested you could sign up. You might also want to try and post a message over there to arrange an IP game between some other gamers. Good luck.
