multi-player varient suggestion

[ken b]

I would really like to be able to play this game against other players. Is it really so difficlt to set this up?
A suggestion would be that each player has there own base to design, say on 15x15 plot for their home island (3 cities) and these bases are then slotted into spaces provided on unknown map. Some general description of the map would be nice to have so can select one, eg one large continent.

You can set up a PBeM game if you want. Make two human players, agree on the settings, and after you finish your turn, save the game and send it to the person you're playing with.
