Default Re: Idea for an \"SP Challenge\" game

I would eventually like to take a crack at hosting an "SP Challenge Game" on your server. Having never hosted before I'm curious how we'd run such a game(s). Would we create a dozen clones of the game on the server (game1,game2,game3, etc) and have each player assigned to a specific cloned-game where the game would act exactly like an MP game except all nations would be AI (except the player's of course)? Is there a way to do this with a single game and behind the scenes each games would save in a subdirectory named the specific username of the player? e.g. a filesystem redirection based on the user's submissions.

Dominions is very efficient at being a server. Having multiple instances of it running is not a problem. Especially if its not on Windows (in this case Linux which is also very efficient for being a server)
