Re: Dedicated Servers?
Excellent start there. The tcpip server method will be good for marathon games.
But if you get some of the 1-turn-a-day games then they can Last months. I figure if I can make the upload/download simple then a cron to do a daily host can allow the same machine to start a new game every day even if they are all running. If we can get 2 servers going.. one for marathons and one for daily-turn then I think a large gap in the community could be provided for.
