Hi Andy, really feel this is a good subject for a thread. It may just take a while though. Speaking of the effects of latency, some say it will be hard if not impossible to achieve 3D of quality in a multiplayer mode. These kinds stones lay right in the path of folks like 3Dfx angling for ultimate gaming experience ala Voodoo. Microprose has quite a lineup on the PC software side that is attractive specifically for its multiplayer design. In your considered opinion, where do you see resolution to the lag problem coming from? New compression technology, cable modems, dedicated lines and optimized server protocols? Maybe there is quite a bit that can still be done with existing modem technology. Whatever your thoughts are, thanks in advance.
