Hi there, Welcome to the Throne Room.

I shall attempt to answer your questions.

First up PBEM's started off having email addresses submitted by users in the thread and a list is typically created by the host, who would then manage the campaign and forward the game on to the participants.

Each player takes the turn of one King and when their king dies the campaign moves on to the next one.

However recently the Org's main website has had a PBEM Uploader and filespace added to ease the transfer of games. You can upload the savegame in .ZIP or .RAR format and there should also be a link to browse the filespace on the upload page.

The PBEM Host tends to set the rules for a campaign, some campaigns (Such as the Italy and French GA PBEMs) have these rules in place to prevent excessive expansion to keep the campaign going longer... After all everyone tries to do as much as they can during their reign as possible and that has been known to make campaigns end prematurely (especially the TD ones)

I am not sure about how MODs can effect the savegames as I do not MOD myself. But I think someone around here is bound to know.

Most players tend to run the latest version in Campaigns unless otherwise specified. The Latest version is MTW with VI and the VI Patch installed. (V2.01) You can check your version number in the corner of the main menu screen in game.

Welcome to PBEM Campaigns.
