Thanks Kristoffer, I really appreciate that. Ive also found that apparently either -T (text mode) or the --mapfile switch keeps the max number of maps from being a problem. I was able to start a game with the 39th map on the list if I specify it on the command line when I start the game. That will work fine for scripting.

Once a game is started can the map can be deleted from the host maps directory? I still have a vision of tossing random generated maps in and starting games from a web interface. I figure I can have 100 games running at once. I know that sounds like alot to people reading here but games can Last for months so if you wanted to always have a game open for signups then you would need alot of games.

Do you really need more than 500 provinces or 20 neighbours?
Your asking ME? Of course I do. (no not really I guess). Do you think there is going to be a limit I will run into on the size of a .map file? You KNOW I can hit that limit if there is one.
