A fellow in the irc channel thought you might run into the cap on how many units and commanders can exist. I think that's a point. The cap is some ridicilous number, but still. Perhaps banning LA ermor and rlyeh would help with that, since they tend to have more units than many other nations combined.
Most of the limits in the game were tweaked based on me doing things that Johan never thoiught that anyone would ever try and do. The maximums on sizes in maps were made smaller, packet transmissions larger, and maximums on things like units and commanders vastly increased.

I ran many test games with a few human players and the rest AIs. One of them is still running.

But this is a game no one has done yet so we dont know what will happen. I expect it will be on a linux server in text mode. I recommend that the map be downloaded by everyone instead of having the server send it on the first turn. And I recommend rotating backups on each pre-exec
