Firaxis, what this game needs... Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

What this game needs is the ability to go from MP -> PBEM-> MP etc at will.

Got spare money?

I completely agree. It would be SOOOO convenient if I could load up my PBEM game as a turnbased game so that we could do an hour or two cram session once a month. It would be an event to look forward to! Do you think the coding would be very difficult?

UberKruX is totally right - I really hope that bug gets fixed in the next patch. I am an awefully trusting person, but this bug could seriously crush my faith in the Civ community. The coding for this one shouldn't be much a problem at all...

Unfortunately, it does.
From within a PBEM game, selecting the load game option will allow you to reload your game. When it executes however, you are no longer required to enter a password for anyone and the game proceeds as a password-less hotseat game.

Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

I hope they are listening. I generally like the idea of PBEM, but with more than a handful of people, it is an investment of years. Being able to go back and forth would be a great feature to give as a Christmas present... this Xmas!

On top of the MP things it would great if they released an even better editor within the next 8 months or so.

While the patch addresses game faults it doesnt hit these two (one of which could be classified as an improvement I guess).

We have been looking and waiting for a better editor for the past twelve months.

Don't hold your breath.

it has it and it ignores passwords entirely.

in fact, if you save it on your opponents turn (in a turn based game anyway) you see their units / cities, but oddly enough your minimap.

then theres always the powerbar
