3 man multiplayer

[voncasey]

can sc2 or waw be played by three people via email game or online?

[MJY]

voncasey,

Unfortunately, no. Playing more than one opponent at a time is not possible. But wouldn't that be a great option!

Of course, it may be one of those things that is easier said than done. There may be computer code issues to begin with. (I can barely turn on my computer, so I won't speak to that issue.) Additionally, coordinating three (or even more) people in a network game context is sometimes tricky -- despite your best intentions. For example, the two opponents I currently play the most are three time zones later than me. (Good thing that I'm a night hawk.) But you could end up playing someone half way around the world.

You can, if you trust your allies not to mess around with your units. Play your country, send saved game to next ally, rinse repeat until all moves completed, send final save to enemies.

Huh? You can save a PBEM game in the middle of a turn? I have not tried that. :cool:

[voncasey]

have you done that John, sounds good to try

[John DiFool the 2nd]

Hmm actually I haven't, just assumed that you could save in the middle of a turn.

[checking...]

Oops no, but you could as hotseat, but again that requires not only trust on the part of your allies but also your enemies. Sorry guys.
