Hmm.... I suppose the god mode isn't as great as it first appeared to me.
Maybe a round-robbin style PBeM would be possible. A player making a turn for there faction, saving the game and passing it on to the next player in line. That player would then play his faction, save the game and pass it on.
This would be reasonable with 4-6 players, and maybe even 8. There still would be the problem of reproducing MP battle results in the campaign. I do believe someone is going to have to do some major hacking to allow direct editing of saved games.
TonkaToys, I am very interested in what you are doing. I am a VB, ASP, and SQL programmer with a wee bit of Java. I have built Win2K IIS servers before as well and may be able to acquire a machine to put on my 3MB down/ 300Kb up cable line if you need a server. If so, what specs would you think it would need?
Again, anything I can do to help would be a pleasure. My email is mkbrewer@facnet.ucla.edu
