FYI, all computer games are turn based.

Then so is your brain. When those "turns" happen to be 50 msec each and they dont wait for you to make a move, we call it (more or less) real time.


You just might want to check up on that. The brain is the only "device" that is capable of real multitasking and does not use the time-frame-slot structure :)

I have to take exception to this.  I think your definition of "turn based [genre] game" is wrong (and no, I don't accept that everyone has their own definition).

It can but females are far better at it.

1. There is no such thing as a "turn based genre". There are too many different types of turn based games to cramp them all together in a single genre.
2. Turn based is very simply going by segments of time that can be shown to be a distinct "turn". Every computer game does that whether you realize it or not.

Turn-based games are generally those where the computer asks you for some sort of response every turn.
Generally found in puzzle and strategy games.

A turn based game is one that waits for every player to finish his turn. The fact that computers process in discrete steps doesnt make everything a computer does turn-based. In fact since modern computer architectures (hardware) can process in parallel (even within a single CPU) this is a false statement anyway.

Hence the square brackets.  A person that knows how to read english would have interpreted that to mean any of the turn based genres -- e.g., turn based STRATEGY game.

(rise from your grave)

im planing on chaining together 3 connections for 55/12 total.

im running the three into a quad wan router to control the load balancing but since it would show up on 3 different IPs to the same physical machine i need a way to get them to work as a single server ingame.

Why not create 3 SST servers with 24 players each ? Having too many players in a map spoils the game me think.

Try running it in this
Though I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't run out of the box, if at all.
