Good or bad? Awesome! I want one game to last for months. This shouldnt require both players online at the same time. The game running constantly one month is not an option. What they need to do is to let the player install a puny software that sleeps until the other player is done doing his turn. Then, if the other player isnt currently playing, the ending of a turn will notify this puny software which then alerts you. Sort of like an email. "Its your turn"-message, even if you are not playing the game.
This way you could have lots of different on going matches with several players, and the tiny puny small software will alert you when its your turn and in which save it is in your turn. Possibly launch the game just by clicking on the "alert"-thingy.

I actually quite like this idea-i do something similar with chess! It would, as Pinxit said, let you have a few games going at once if you wanted, and you wouldn't have to co-ordinate times. The only problem would be the battles, but maybe you could just wait until the other person is on or autoresolve (unlike many TW players, i dont believe autoresolving is a heinous crime punishable by death)

On a different note, do you think it would be possible to make another human a protectorate? If so, my friends should look forward to a slow and humiliating crushing of their independence *evil laugh*
