PBEM QUESTION - help this newbie
Okay so after a lot of hassle I figured out how to start a PBEM game. My question is this:

Is there a way to email the turn to the next player within Civ3? I read a review that claimed you could but I can't figure out how.

Also this is how I'm setting up the game, tell me if there's an easier way.

My friends and I join my host playing a Turn Based Classic game. We play until our Civilizations are moderately established, then one of us saves the game at the beginning of his turn. He then hosts a new game, sets it to Play by Email and loads the save game. Then he makes his move and emails the save game to the next player.

Thanks,
255 (PBEM newbie)

PS, here is the review and a quote from it:

http://www.gamesdomain.com/gdreview/...2/civ3ptw.html

"Play the World doesn't use its own server, but you can easily send off turns within the game itself. No fishing for files and sending them via email. PBEM games are also password protected to prevent tampering. "
