	help please Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

does anyone know if it is possible to set up a game so that the players can move at the same time.

i have the german version, and there seems to be no dokumentation on the options.
* one is normal, it seems to be:
every player has unlimited time und while your turn no one else can move.
* one is time per city. guess it means for each city you have you get a few seconds.
* one is time per turn. everyone gets a certain time per turn?
* and the last one i really dont understand. in german it is "ueberlapend". i am not sure what it should mean.

TIA,
eQas

With the game as is, you can not set it up to have all players move at the same time. Maybe a clever SLIC wiz can make it happen, but there are no options to do it.

thanks for your information.

i believe SMAC does have the option to play at the same time. would be nice if CTP could do so to.

eQas,
regardind your "uberlapend" option in the german version, it should be the "carryover" time setting option for MP games.
The carryover option allow you to keep the time you didnt use in a turn for the next turns ...
Humm ... one exemple:
You set the carryover to 5 minutes a turn.
If you spend one minute for your first turn (and clic the end turn button), you will have 5 minutes + 4 minutes for the next turn etc etc etc. If you play quickly, you will have more time in the future to play complicated turns(time capitalization).(with a max at 10 minutes I think)
understood ? (maybe I was not very clear ...)
Bye.
