Dominions 3 on Dual Quad core machines

The magic phase battles could be hard to handle. Am I right in thinking that assassination spells (and assassinations?) occur along with the normal ritual casting and thus can interrupt, but that Teleport(etc) battles occur after all rituals have been cast? You can't interrupt someone's casting by teleporting onto his lab?

If so, it's not too much harder. Deal with all the assassinations. Spawn a thread for each province's magic phase battles.
Deal with the results and army movement, etc.
Spawn a thread for each province's movement phase battles.
Deal with the results
Spawn a thread for each fortress battle.

It's not even a graph. I think for each phase it's confined to a province. You'd need to resolve everything in a phase before moving on to the next anyway.
