Feature Request: Increase max players above 8

[SiCoe]

There are times where we've got 10 or 12 players who would like to have one big multiplayer game.

Would it be possible to have more than the standard 8 players?

[Pantera]

its not even possible to get a 8 player game lagg free and you want even more players.

possible maybe yes but it wont happend.

[Dalv]

sadly, the old engine won't hold 10 players very well
One could only imagine the epic battles in a 5v5 or 6v6 indeed

yeah you also need the map size for that players and as we know LudiKRIS mapsize is lagging really hard.

You'd also really want to increase the number of settable teams to 5 (for 10 players) or 6 (for 12 players).

i've played a complete 4v4 Nomad on LudiKRIS before. Nobody lagged. Nobody complained.

Congratulations! but its known that most of the player have massive problems with that mapsize, just take a look at the forum posts about Ludikris mapsize.

Even keeping to the 8 nations, but being able to have more players, with some players controlling the same nation (by selecting the same colour) would be cool.

Potentually less lag enducing and easier to impliment.
