The only computer games I've played against/with humans are RTS and CRPG. While I love Turn-Based Strategy, I don't think I have the patience to wait for another human and I think an PBEM game of TOAW would probably take to long to hold my interest. You might consider trying a few games PBEM. I have known many players who swore by PO games until they tried a few PBEM games. In my experience I can't think of one that ever went back after playing some PBEM games. The difference is like night and day.

quote: ORIGINAL: Iñaki Harrizabalagatar I think the naval model could be made similar to the current air model, in the sense in which we could have naval units stationed at a port, with a fight range Not a bad idea really. I'd like to see it increasingly tweaked in the future but as a starting point I think this is pretty good.

Depending on who you play against PBEM can be as slow or as fast paced as you like.

I've played PBEM - not TOAW, true, but other games - and disliked it intensely. I don't plan to repeat it. I also like speaking for the 'silent majority' - those gamers who never, ever play anything but solo. There are more of us than of you, gaming-wide - and therefore if TOAW becomes viewed as a PBEM only game, it's potential (buying!) audience is greatly reduced. But this is a tiny bit off-topic, isn't it? Maybe a thread of it's own? Steve.

This is the same 'silent majority' which supported Nixon, right? [;)]

To me it seems that improving the naval warfare aspect of TOAW is so feasible. Most of the mechanics are already there and what's not there, is being used for land warfare. I've posted more details about how I think it should be done, but really all I've done is try to translate what works so well for the land combat (air interdiction, reserve movement, multiple hit units, semi-covert units) and work it into the naval combat. I'll post my ideas on a new thread. Please check it out and give me some feedback. I'm still coming up with ideas.
