New to the COI edition but not new to CC....quick question....I understand that I can play against another human - but do I have to play multiplay or can you do PBEM?

If one can PBEM - how would you go about doing this or setting this up?

Thanks much and by the way - this game really rocks!!

You both have to play at the same time.

It's real time tactical, so you have to be there.

With those specifications, you should have no trouble running the game.
Your video ram should be about 32mb with a Rage Fury Pro.
To check it, select "run" in start menu then type dxdiag, then look under the display tab. It should be written there.
