What online multiplayer games play well over wifi/higher latency?
I’m thinking turn-based games may work okay in this respect, but which of those might you recommend besides Civ? Also what other types of games work better over wifi/higher latency than you might expect?
I know ideally you’d simply wire up your system to not have to fuss with either, but it’s not always an option in some circumstances.

Some older online games have pretty good latency tolerance because they were built in an era before broadband was widely available.
Vanilla World of Warcraft, for example, has a ‘spell batching’ mechanic that helps to equalise things somewhat. You’ll need to play on a private server though because Blizz changed spell batching in Classic.
This is a great point (as well as others that have mentioned similar). I wonder if some of the old arena shooters from around then (or their open source offshoots) may handle just as well today, considering that.
I’ll have to look into those that are still active and see! Thanks!
