Help a newb!

[pro24b]

Hello, Just picked up Civ3:PTW pretty cheap. One thing though is I want to play with my friend online. Is the total limit only 8 including both players and computer? That seems really small..we wanted to do a huge map allied vs 16 computer enemies. Yet when I got to play the scenario map we made the limit is 8 in the multiplayer menu..including us. So having only 6 computer players is a disapointment. Was hoping there was a fix to this or a mod that allows more computer players than 8 total.. thanks for any help.

8 is the maximum including both humans and computer. There is no fix or mod available unfortunately. Hopefully this will not be an issue in Civ4 as it is definitely a limiting code

C3C allows 32 civs, but I don't know what the human player limit is.

Hmmm... you could play SP against 16 (or more) AI civs as sort of a two man demo team, and trade off playing the save. Not quite what you had in mind, but could still be fun.

8 players max (combined AI & Human) is the limit for multiplayer games.

It's origin is probably the online version of multiplayer over the internet.

31 civs total is max for Single Player because the barbaribans use up a slot. (This is why in C3C there is a leaderhead for Austria but they aren't on the list.)
