Do you mean Turn Based Strategy? In this case, you would be best to send all data at the end of each round (i.e. after all players have completed Round X).

In the case of Real Time Strategy, you would be best to send data to each client for each state change (unit velocity, world changes, etc), just like any other real-time game.

That''s the way I see it anyways... anyone else have any suggestions?

Hi

U cant make any move/change until all players ack receiving moves.... or else u get some clients doing moves and othen dont so desync ur game ...

And u cant wait for ack from all comps in one frame ... think at a 8plyer game (standard Starcraft) if u wait 100ms (normal latency) for each player send / receive u get very poor frame rate...

I face the same proble myself.....
as i have my RTS almost ready and going to Network myltiplayer

There has to be a very complicated inteligent solution...
take care...at lost packets...
