The Multiplayer-Mode is nearly emapy sometimes...I and a few addicts who can play nearly every day keep wondering y 41 PBEM-Players PBEM.
We could make it competitive and playable.

Hi Damien, I'm here too dude. You know who I am. I think Pbem games could be a good way for competetive people to actually finish a game, without time restrictions.
People in the multiplayer lobbies lately never play out a full game anymore, or even come close, and never get their butts back into the lobbies for the correct continuation time. And if someone is getting their ass kicked, suddenly there's a whole range of things that happen: "Man I'm supposed to be on duty now, gotta run" sound familiar Saddam?, or "My wife needs the phone", or a whole host of other reasons. Which is better than the ones that just leave without saying anything I suppose. But this still leaves you playing a game you might as well have started and finished alone at home, because in the end your conquest is over the ai, not someone else's strategy.
Now who's startin a new Pbem game? I want me some action. Look me up, and LET ME IN!!!

I would like to clarify something for the non-GL players here.
While some people get online to test their skills and find GL players, on the average better. Better meaning it does take time to adapt to the difference in online human opponents verses AI. The big difference as we have seen in PBEM time and time again. Some of these peeps quit as they are, for the first time, being wiped out by a real opponent, no excuses bow out with a roar, die with grace it happens. But GL has rules for such behavior they are clear and explicit, you quit, made reason's and don't reset a time and show up, the game is over for you, period. So that then let's you move on with a victory, no looking back. So for those of us that have a little list of quiters or a large one take advantage of the rules, chances are you are beating them anyway, why rub it in. Enforce the rules so as this type of behavior in GL at least is minimal. OK? You can find the RDP ("Recommended Disconnect Policy") here:
http://gameleague.megaultra.com/fea...isconnects.php3
Enough said, while I find most that do this are non-GL players in fun games, so no biggy, GL players have rules enforce them rather than talk about them.
IMO
