	More than 8 players in MP? Suffering from ads?

Yea, it sounds like a noobish question but i'm curious if anyone found a way to hack civ to allow more than 8 players in mp.

me and my buds wanna try a 4 on 12 deity AI game or something.

do MP scenarios allow more than 8 people?

I doubt it. The MP setup screen would cut that off, unless you can hack the rules and the UI.

I dont see how the game can be fluid with more than 8 players on MP. Peoples connection are just not good enough in general.

UberKrux specifically was talking about a 4 human-12 AI match. This wouldn't run much slower than a 4 human-4 AI match.

I'm trying to be more diplomatic now... (are you referring to the peeing on Bush or TimmAY!? )

Sure, I could have Calvin peeing on Bush, but I wouldn't want to "inflame" the jingos.

C'mon man, this is the age of broadband... if you are still running 56k you don't deserve to play online games anyways

I can live with a limit of 8 human players, BUT THERE NEEDS TO BE A PATCH TO ALLOW THE ADDITION OF MORE AI CIVS.

I mean once you've defeated 2 players the game loses a lot of its flavor because there are too many resources left. If there were AI civs in addition to the 8 humans trading and negotiations would still play a part in the game.

I never understood the purpose of AI in an MP game.
They are basically dead weight IMO.

What's the fun of 2 humans playing against 6 AI?
(unless there was a way to tell the AI to go co-op as well, which he doesn't. ATM your playing against 6 x 1 AI, that's no co-op IMO )

	Put an end to popups!

we've been playing 2 on 6 small map deity. the AIs grab nearly all the land before you get a chance to plan your cities

we'd like to play 3 on 12, or 4 on 12 or something
