PBEM file size.

Sooner or later someone will make a tool. You enter your opponent's address, point to the file, and it will split and send it in several emails. Doing this manually in your email client is just cumbersome.

But it is strange, it looks that it wasn't optimised :(

It's not a question of optimization. The game is not really designed for pbem. The big question was if we wanted the feature even with huge files. We said yes of course.

I think that "The game is not really designed for pbem" means lack of optimization :)
but sure for me PBEM is the most important feature of this game

I just send 9MB file and it is just first round !!! Do you know if it will be growing ?

McIvan · 08-03-2007, 06:51 AM,

Yeah, MGK, apparently it does grow. The biggest I have heard mentioned is 30 meg. Obviously it depends on the size of the scenario. When you think that each turn replay has to instruct the receiving computer on the trajectory of every bullet fired, you can see why. Having said that, I'm sure in time they could get it down because even setups are big, and surely they don't have to be.

Google Mail is free, no need for changing ISP. If you need an invite let me know.

See the picture for Star Trek Borg spoting
My opponent can see my forces but cant shoot at them - I can't see his forces (USA - stealth units) but we both are moving from the same setup zone !!
