I wonder if there are any modern games still offering PBEM support.
The Field of Glory II games do have a PBEM option but it's more
integrated into the game and uses Slitherine's servers to exchange the
'e-mails' for each turn.
I don't know why, but that makes me weirdly happy that such an old
game-play model is still supported. I'm halfway tempted to install the
game just to try it out.
It's a shame it relies on Slitherine's servers though, although I like
how its integrated the capabilities into the game itself. That was
always one issue I had with other PBEM games. You always had to drop
out of the game to use your email client to send the save-file rather
than their integrating the feature into the game itself (preferably
allowing you to specify your own mail-server information).
