Dedicated servers?
Hello all. I haven't made the dive to buy this game yet (though I've tried out the demo and really like it), so I've been trying to do some research on the game before I decide to get it. I'm a big fan of online PvP, so no matter how good the single player is, I need the multiplayer aspect to be satisfying in order to have the desire to buy it.
One thing I can't seem to find specific information on is the set of options available for online gaming, such as the ability to play games consecutively with a 24 hr turn-limit. In other words, are games hosted by dedicated servers? If not, is there at least a utility that allows the players to host their own games on dedicated servers (like PitBoss for Civ)?
Come to think of it, "play by email" would suffice. Is that supported in this game?
I'm scared by the fact that I haven't heard anything about these features being in Heroes 6, but I would be very surprised if a game of this caliber didn't have any of these features that are essential, IMO. Any info would be greatly appreciated!

The game is strongly online oriented so I guess that you will find here your features.
As far as I recall the turns they have their time limitation, everything is connected via Conflux (likely dedicated servers) you can even compare your achievements with other player directly from the game.
That said I'm not online player, so if you will find one s/he will tell you more, I'm sure.

Thanks for the info! I looked into Conflux, and from what I can tell it's only a place to keep track of stats and communicate between players. I can' find anything about hosting games.
Anyone else have some information on this?
