Is OpenGL required ?

It can work. Kind of. Battles aren't too bad, but the map is *slow*, in my experience. Of course, you'd want to turn off all details, play fullscreen, and so on.

I suspect you would need *some* sort of GLX libraries, so that would be the mesa ones in your case; you need to be able to *start* glxgears, though you won't see the wheels spinning, of course. I'm not sure if that part is really necessary, though...

Once it's done, fire up Dominions with the relevant switches; in my case, just using -xxx was enough, but you might have to turn off OpenGL extensions as well. In any case, I did manage to play the demo a couple days ago, just using the nv drivers and a thrall CPU.
