Hiya,
I just stumbled onto an interest in play by email games, especially play by
email strategy games. I just felt I'd share my findings with you all, as this
genre of gaming isn't one that Audyssey seems to have covered extensively.
There is one particular PBEM title which I'm involved with, which has
captured my interest somewhat. It's called Atlantis, and there are many
versions of it out therre. What sets it apart from a lot of other strategy
type games is that there isn't an ASCII map. Reports are just text which
describe in some detail the world as seen by player units, describe the
statistics of those units, etc. It's really quite neat. What is more, orders
are submitted via email to the Atlantis server, and they're in a more or less
comprehensible format.
The particular game I play is called St Atlantis, and has a web page at:
http://www.arno-saxena.de/atlantis/atl_home.php
I highly recommend those interested in strategy take at least a look at
this game. It's quite interesting in my view anyway. I'd be glad to hear your
impressions.
All the best,
Zack.
