System Requirements for Dom III

Plus, you get 50+ players into a game, it'll go to hades pretty quick. Anytime there's even been 18 or so, people starting going AI, or simply staling 20 turns in a row without notice.

And it's not even that it's dilettantes or bad people, just that the more people you have, the greater the chance that some of the people wind up having to move, find new jobs, have a death in the family, a war start, or otherwise have their lives disrupted to where they can't put time into game playing.

Thats true, I was thinking of a veeery slow game with 1 week turns. Long and big game. Of course, big question is how many ppl would play it.

Gandalf is right, of course. People need to get a feeling of vanilla Dom3 before they start checking weird stuff.

I would.

I think that we should host TCP/IP games for 18 peoples maximum with a ~80 province map.
The only problem is the EU - US time difference.

Well anyone can host one game like that so the EU crowd could have their own. Of course on a 24-hour host setting it might not matter.

Well, I got a dom2 command line server running on Debian Linux in text only mode. I found a couple very old threads on the dom forums that really helped me do this.

Thanks for the assistance.
Oh, one more thing. What is the best method to administer a command line linux machine remotely? I have found plenty of remote desktop software but they require a GUI like X-Windows.

Lets start a new thread for this. Look for Linux Admining.

Webmin (http://www.webmin.com/) might do the trick, but I must admit I used it for 3 years from my Windooze desktop but have no clue if you can really set it up to run on a X-less server (or how I should do that). As it's only a webserver and a bunch of perl scripts I guess it should, but better check yourself ...
