I would think another issue would be the politics and talking to other players. How does that work in these sort of games? Is everyone constantly instant messaging each other behind each other's backs, I guess that would all just be part of the game.

I am wondering how online gaming is going to play out. I would think you would have to set a turn time limit. Then as soon as each turn went off and results were produced everyone would start politicking again.

If you had a game filled with real people it could be quite the beautiful mess.

Resolving battles can take up to an hour and a half, and sometimes there are 2 or 3 major battles in the same month. At least with an online game, people can do something else if they dont want to watch - rather than having to sit around bored.

You might choose to only play quick battles if you actually had 8 people to cut down on the boredom factor...

Sounds like online is a viable option if you go with quick battles. I am pleased.
