Shrapnel Games Announces Official Play By Email Multiplayer Site for Space Empires IV Unique Site Offers more than average PBEM!

Cary, NC, June 05, 2001

Shrapnel Games is proud to announce that the SE:IV PBEM Site (http://seiv.pbw.cc) is hereby recognized as the official PBEM multiplayer site for it's popular space based 4X game, Space Empires IV. Details on using the site for multiplayer PBEM can be found at http://seiv.pbw.cc.

Richard Arnesen, Director of Covert Operations for Shrapnel Games, said, "Playing any game via Play By Email with more than 2 players can be somewhat of a burden at times. However the fans over at the Play By Web site have devised a brilliant system to allow their server to do most of the grunt work for you. If you miss a turn the computer can even play it for you without interrupting the flow of the game for others. When I was notified by the fans of this new site I was floored at the ease of use and the amount of available features it gives those who wish to play our game versus other human opponents. This is a must see for any fan of the game, in fact I liked it so much I am joining a game right now!"
