Not at ALL, because Aaron is VERY miserly with his use of memory. See the turn 60 post in the archive from the game I was playing against 19 AI with no mods just 50 sphere worlds added using the map editor. I have an old 1998 machine with only 64 meg of memory and there was no problem at all except it took about ten minutes for the 19 AI to do their turn. What the heck is your machine that it has problems ? The speed has gone up by over a factor of 8 and the memory provided on a standard machine has gone up by a factor of 32 in the Last ten years! My suggestions to Aaron will require about a megabyte of memory, but there should be 8 times that of free memory on a 16 meg machine, which I had thought would be the smallest ANYBODY would be using in 2001......
