With the blunder of Victoria (I shall see the forthcoming weekend if I'm able to get a multiplayer game started)
I was wondering what would be the availability of people to start a Play by E-mail game of vanilla Civ 4: BtS (3.19?) I never played a PBEM before, but supposedly, we no longer need to congregate at the same time to play, which would make the availability much easier for all involved.
I do not understand the mechanics involved behind such a game (I suppose it would need for each player to put a password to protect their game, and mail to the next player or host the save game file in a place where every player could download it when it was their turn. Unfortunately, due to the secret nature of these turn-based PBEM games, AAR's would be lacking, and probably only public events could be listed (Wars, Wonder construction, etc.)
EDIT: It would also make for a nice diplomacy game here in the forums, as our civilizations meet and begin forging alliances and backstabbing each others. :P
