Civ III on a network a couple questions...

[5LiterMustang]

I just ordered 3 copies of CivIII to put on some computers but we switch networks quite a bit throughout the day. I was under the impression this would kill our games, evidently it may not, we can save the game and simply pick up where we stopped when someone had to temporarily leave the network?

We may also just use a mini network with a spare router to hook this stuff up.

So how does this work? Does it auto save between turns or do we need to save it when we're going ot have to jump out for a minute or what?

wtf are you doing that you have to jump out for a minute and change networks ?

Playing at work?

With most network games, if you disconnect from the game you juat have to re-join. I'm sure the way Civ is that may not not be quite that easy. Just try it with a quich test game and see what happens. Worst case you will have to save the game and exit when somebody has to actually work for a few minutes.
