Happily my server is immune to blowing up from simultaneous hostings, and also has effectively unlimited capacity (100 games?), so there shouldn't be any problems on either of those counts. Thanks for the info Gandalf.

I wasnt sure. I actually havent blown up many games on my server (and what ones did blow up were more from the MUD game than the Dominions games). But I would hate to get a bunch of larger games started and then on turn 100 find out that its a problem. Ive noticed that some people join multiple games so they tend to do all of their turns at the same time each day. With quickhost, sometimes they end up kicking off the hosting on multiple games. Staggering large games seemed a good idea. Especially with PbEM where a set hour isnt such a problem, might even be preferable.

I need to look into this wraparound map generator. Is that paradoxharbinger's one? I haven't followed that closely.
Yes. He got the wrap part working early on. But Im having trouble figuring out how to get a map closer to what the players are used to. Colors, and land masses, percentage of terrain, etc. If someone comes up with a command string that doesnt look like a kaleidoscope (no offense PH) then I would love it if they posted it. Im sure it has the capability but my hit-or-miss method isnt finding it.
