[Freeciv-Dev] long-term FreeCiv play

[jm@xxxxxxxxxx (Justin Mason)]

Hi guys,

Just wondering -- how well would freeciv support long-term play, e.g.
maybe 1-4 turns a day?  (The idea being a kind of play-by-email style.)

Looking at http://www.freeciv.org/manual/server.html , it looks like
setting timeout to e.g. 3600*4 would provide this. Would it then be
possible for users to connect, do their turn, and disconnect?  Would
playing like this be a massive PITA? ;)

BTW thanks for writing freeciv -- Civ really is the best game in the
world, and now there's what looks like a massively improved version, and
it's free software.  If I can only find the time to really start playing
it though... ;)
