I just took a look at Rome: Total War and it has a Lan battles setting, so that doesn't sound like a campaign, but I don't have multiple machines to try it.
I know Unreal Tournament (and UT2K4) you could install them as dedicated server on Linux Boxes without too much trouble. And from my little experience, ther hardware requirements weren't too great. With only 3 or 4 players probably almost anything would work since the clients do almost all the heavy lifting (rendering).

So if the clients are doing the work then I can't really get away with a weak link computer then--weak as in my other two would are very good and I'm thinking the third one would be only average?
