PC vs. Mac PBEM?

A friend of mine and I have been trying for years to find a turn-based strategy game that we can play via e-mail. He has a Mac, and I'm running a PC. Any suggestions? Will the e-mail files exchange between the Mac and PC versions of Civ 4? Thanks!

I am pretty sure that people have done this with the Total War series. Campaign mode.

Bootcamp will work, assuming he can run the game. As for how to do it. I dont recall. I found it in a modding forum. 8 guys where sending the file to each other. It took them weeks to get past the first couple turns.

Thank you both for the info. Civ 4 looks like a good bet, then. But what is the "port" a Mac thing? (Forgive my ignorance! :) )

Ask your friend to use bootcamp (partitions your drive and lets you install a different OS) if the game is only available on windows or he can cider it though not very recommendable due to bugs and performance hit.
