Ross, I'm a bit concerned about you mentioning "disconnects can be continued online" in another thread. I think that's going down a slippery slope and am reposting my take on this thread...
Ross, will it be possible to play against the AI (i.e., the AI takes over) in case someone quits on you online? I'm afraid that if you leave disconnects in a "to be continued/resumed" state, we will have all and sundry quit/disconnect the game and never join/resume the game.
Also, it's not realistic to expect both the online users to be available at the same time in the future so it would make more sense for a "disconnected" game to be taken over by the A.I. After all if I'm playing an online game and my opponent quits, or is disconnected, I shouldn't be penalized for it and should have an opportunity to complete the rest of the game against AI.
I'm all for saving an online game but the feature shouldn't be for quit/disconnected games as it will only play in favor of quitters.
