    I just wanted to say, PA is the best game since Team Fortress 2 at handling ping.

    I have literally no issues playing PA with 700 - 800 ping, and for that, I praise thee- Uber!

    (Team Fortress 2 also handles ping veeeery well, hence the thing... )

    I must say, any TBS handles ping exceptionally well.

    Turn based strategy. Trollilol.

    I disagree, i played Civ 5 with friends, the lag was awful.

    And here I thought this thread would be about the Ping! feature. Which, as it happens, actually works very nicely.

    I thought it was about the fact that clicking the ping button is actually kinda ... hard. Weird to describe. It needs to be clicked for hard for it to work I feel.

    And I always thought it'd be called latency. Oh boy.

    Probably. Though I use pings so rarely I don't usually remember the hotkey, if I even have it bound to g. In fact so far I only used pings for "to mod this stuff I need the game to make an alert there" in the last few month. ^^

    How does a TBS lag?

    Unless you mean friends taking 10 minutes to finish their turns. :{

    Order a unit to move, does so after 20 seconds.
