Technical Tidbits

These are frequently out of date. In January 2006, the only running game of Eressea can be described by the following numbers:

Eressea has a total of over 100.000 lines of code for server and tools which are written in C, C++ and LUA. In addition to code, there are approximately 900 kilobytes of XML configuration files. It was originally based on Russell Wallace's Atlantis 1.0, which had a mere 7000 lines of code.
The world of Eressea takes up 120 MBytes of disk space. There are more than 360.000 units in 1000 factions.
Running the server takes about 15 minutes. Compressing and sending all of the reports however takes half an hour.
