PBEM Multiplayer

The idea is to propose a PBEM Multiplayer experience which would allow to game online around a long period of time.

The core components would be :

- The game is hosted / stored online

- The turn time is fixed to a longer time (e.g. 1 day or 2 days etc...)

- Players can log in at anytime during that period to decide their actions

- Alternatively players have to play in a sequence and are informed by e-mail when they turn come, similarly they have a period of e.g. 1 day to complete their turn

Some settings have to be changed accordingly : automatic battles, ability to get asynchrone diplomatia etc.

In that way games could be played and completed around several months giving enough time for each players to enjoy the game. 

This kind of feature is greatly implemented in Age of Wonders III which gives a good example of how this could work.
