How many players?

[General Jelly Jiggler]

I wish that steam would make tags for this... Is this more than 4?

[Herr Quezt]

It allows 4 players in a lobby as of now. You might be able to mod it to support more later on.

It supports more than 4 with a couple of console commands, same as Heroes 1 :)

Before entering the multiplayer menu enter these 2 commands:
e_cheats true
g_multiplayer_limit 5 (or whatever player count you want to allow)

In HoH 1 the profile will be marked as modded however and I think that disables achievements. Bit of a shame that slightly higher player counts count as cheats, as we have 5-6 a lot in my gaming group

changing the lobby size limit in hoh1 did not mark you as modded or cheated nor disable achievements. It's the same for this game

I may have gotten some bad info on reddit or something when I went searching for the console commands to play the HoH2 demo. However in this HoH2 demo, the g_multiplayer_limit command returns a message in the console that e_cheats must be enabled (and then you see the "cheats enabled" message in the upper left corner of the HUD). Is that something that possibly needs to be fixed if the intent is to allow more than 4 players without marking a profile as modded?

oh maybe you do need cheats after all, but if you do use the lobby command make sure you put it in your game's cfg file or there may be issues

It doesn't work. Says the profile isn't modded.

[Lemny]

is there a fix for that? Have the same issue. How can we "mod" the profile and what dies this mean?

[Muffinslop]

so there's no cheats required for the g_multiplayer_limit command. You only need that command.
No fixes needed. It works as intended

I am here for the cheats tbh. Got tired really fast and would like to skip a bit of the grind. Managed to change my gold, but that does little help.
