at was the hard part. Here’s the easy part.

ere are two modes for multiplayer games: Hot Seat and Play By eMail.

Hot Seat

In Hot Seat games, players alternate inputting turns on the same computer. After each human player clicks the End Turn

button, a screen appears which prompts the next player to begin their turn.

Play By eMail (PBeM)

In PBeM games, players create their turns on separate computers and send the appropriate turn ﬁle to the player designated

as host. e host player consolidates each player’s turn in a designated game folder and then he processes the turn to ﬁnish the

round. In response, the game creates a new ﬁle which is sent to each of player’s email. Here is a detailed view of this process:

1. e Host creates the game on his computer via the Start New Game menu. He sets all game parameters. A unique name

is assigned to the game, which becomes the name for the main game ﬁle as well as the folder where the ﬁle is located.

Multiplayer save games are stored in:

Windows: My Documents\Solium Infernum Game\MultiPlayerSaves\

e Host also enters his own and each player’s email address or identifying name.

2. e Host then invites the players to join by clicking the Invite button. Individual invitation ﬁles are created, and these

are named after the players’ email addresses/names then placed in the folder identiﬁed above. e host player sends the

invitation ﬁles via email to the players. ese invitation ﬁles have .inv ﬁle suﬃxes.

3. e receiving players then place their .inv invitation ﬁles in the “_NewGameStarts” folder, which is located in their

MultiPlayerSaves folder. Each player starts Solium Infernum, selects Multiplayer, then selects Load Game. e name of

the new game appears as a ﬁle in the File Select Screen, and these players should then left-click the appropriate name and

then press Load. e game prompts them to select a pre-existing Avatar. Afterwards, the game prompts a dialogue box that

suggests sending their .trn ﬁle to the host. Clicking OK dismisses the dialogue.

4. Each player now ﬁnds a new folder named after this game within their MultiPlayerSaves folder. Here, a newly created ﬁle

-- which is named after the player’s email/name and ends with .trn -- is stored. e player emails this ﬁle to the host.

5. After receiving each player ﬁle the host places all .trn ﬁles in the game’s named folder. e host then starts Solium

Infernum, selects Multiplayer, then selects Load Game. He clicks the game’s name and then clicks Load. A Host Control

Interface appears which lists the status of all players. If all .trn ﬁles are present, the Start Game button is activated. e host

clicks the Start Game button to (of course) start the game.

6. e Host now sees his view of the map and he is able to create his turn orders. He may either do so now or simply save

the game, exit, and return later. Before the next turn can be processed, the host emails the main game ﬁle to the other

players and then receives their completed .trn ﬁles in return. e name of the main game ﬁle will be the game’s name

followed by the word “main.” Its suﬃx is .sav.

7. Players receive the main game ﬁle from the host via email and then place this ﬁle in the folder identiﬁed above. ey load

the game via their multiplayer load interface. ey complete their orders. To ﬁnish, they click End Turn to save. Afterwards,

the players exit and then email their .trn ﬁle (which has been newly created, and which resides in the named game folder)

back to the host.

8. Once the host receives all turn ﬁles, he puts them into the game folder then clicks Process Turn under the Host Control

Interface. e host should ensure that he has ﬁnished issuing orders and responding to any turn log message before clicking

this button, else: he loses his chance.

9. e game creates a new main turn ﬁle. e host distributes this through email to the players.

10. is process continues until the game is ﬁnished.

Note: Players may be turned over to the control of the AI by clicking on the “Human Player” label/button next to the player’s

name. is process is ﬁnal though once the turn is processed and CANNOT be undone later during the game.

Note: In the case that the host player is eliminated from play, the host player will still need to collect process and

disseminate the game ﬁles. e host will simply be unable to create any orders for his own eliminated position but may view

the game board.
