Ok, some folks and I from penny-arcade forums want to do a succession game. Whereas, we basically do the PBM situation and pass the save file around via email. THe KEY difference is that we are playing the same person. I play ten turns, save, and pass it to Mr. X. He plays ten turns, saves, and passes it to Ms. Y... etc.
What files would we need to include besides the save file? Ship design files? A map file? A config file?
As a side note, this becomes a community event on the forums since every player submits an abstract or summary of their ten turn experience with screenshots. It worked exceedingly well for Civ 4, X-Com, and Rome:TW.
