Re: AI \"personalities?\"
Well it was originally meant as a test. But Dom3 has made fantastic improvements in load handling. I have run a number of tests beyond 50 turns. I have a pre-host script that records the system stats like time and load, then the post-host records it again.
First off, since Im a linux host Im running it in text mode (which is the most efficient). And I dont care how long it takes to process since many of such games are 24 hour turnaround. But these numbers show that a linux server could easily manage a game this large. And at the same time many smaller mapped 2 or 3 player blitzes.
But the latest "me vs 78" game is in turn 74.
Here are the load stats
turn #1
