It's critical to our beta testing. Right now we can determine if a bug is Mac-only or also in the PC by loading up save files on each and comparing.

In Alpha Centauri, the play-by-e-mail games were basically just people sending savegames to each other. If in the future Civ3 adds that option (which I definitely do NOT know for sure), we need to be ready to deal with that. The safest way is to cover our ass now and make them cross-platform from the start.

	Support Apolyton or Terrorists Win

they'll probably be the same size then, right? (1.5 MB and up)

personally the only form of multiplayer I'd really be interested in is PBEM, since I've got some friends a long way off that like TBS games, and most of them own PCs. great to know some cross platform tournaments are a possibility at this more or less early stage, though.
