Im not much of an opponent.
But I will be running games on my servers. Starting slow at first since I dont want to promise more than they can keep up with without hurting their other purposes.
game.dominions.com will be handling small games. At the moment the settings are 640x480 and 30 province maps that are generated fresh for each game. Suitable for a 2 or 3 player blitz.
I also have an ai_blitz and chaos_blitz for variations later on. The ai one switches to 50 provinces and adds 3 AI's. The chaos one sprinkles random monsters all over the maps.
www.Dom3Minions.com is the better server and will be running large special games with a web directory for the game. Probably to start out it will be just a game for the first age that will autostart as soon as the slots are filled. (no pre-registering so dont bother)

Gandalf but those will be PBEM servers only, am I correct?

Re: System Requirements for Dom III
No they will be tcpip only.
Later on I might automate the handling of email games since I could run alot of those.

Re: System Requirements for Dom III
Have any idea what the schedule for those TCP games would be? 1/day?

Re: System Requirements for Dom III
The large games on the main server would be set for 24 hour turnaround.
The small games like blitzes would be set for quickturn. Each time all the nations have uploaded their turn it would host whether it was every 10 minutes or 10 hours. Its been requested to support IRC or some chat mode in combination with blitz games. Im looking into that.
Im also going to make a pitch in some linux groups to try and get some other people with servers interested in Dominions. There is 10 times as much power and options than I plan to make any use of. I will make my scripts available to anyone that is interested.

Re: System Requirements for Dom III
Oh very nice! Count me in for TCP/IP games. I will also host TCP/IP, but only when I am online.

Re: System Requirements for Dom III
I just wonder if we can setup 50+ player game with most of the forum playing in it. A Gandalf said, no need to setup ladders, lets put EVERYONE in one game.  |

Re: System Requirements for Dom III
Fine with me. I can host it.
Here is a thumbnail of my favorite map for a game that big.
