Provided the numerical limit is not hard coded into the game then artwork and the unique unit per civ is the limiting factor. However if there is no hardcoded limit to number of civs per game then FIRAXIS could launch with 16 unique civs and up to 16 players per game. That they are not doing so may just be a soft limit to keep testing and processor requirements down but they are saying nothing in case testing reveals that the game cannot cope with more. I expect we will never get a definintive answer to this until the product is shipped and the first mod maker attempts it.

To doubt everything or to believe everything are two equally convenient solutions; both dispense with the necessity of reflection.

I am rather disappointed in Apolyton having announced a 7 page limit on a forum. How hard would it be for them to have allowed for 16 or even 32 pages? And after so many have indicated a desire for more than 7 pages! Is there a problem with progamming the forum AI? Or is it a machine spec limitation issue? Do these people NEVER listen to us?Avoid COLONY RUSH on Galactic Civlizations II (both DL & DA) with my Slow Start Mod.

Where did Apolyton announce this? That sounds kind of arbitrary, this isn't the OT forum where posts and topics get generated faster then my internet can even load themComment

I guess it could be a joke SerapisIV. You know: 7 limit, whining that people are not listening...Comment

yeah well this thread devolved into a whine fest anyway with nothing to do with civ anyway, with some of my help nonetheless, so I'll bring it back to a real Civ3 topic...drumrolls....(can you guess what I'll whine about?)

Concerning my previous post on the 7-page forum limit:
Did you guys not notice the message icon? It's a face winking. What does that mean to you? I've done it to this post as well just so you'd understand...Avoid COLONY RUSH on Galactic Civlizations II (both DL & DA) with my Slow Start Mod.

Seriously, I am sure some of you Apolyton posters are programers. Could you please enlighten me about why it would be so difficult to program the game to run with more than 7 civilizations simultaneously?Rome rulesComment

I've been getting severe slowdowns on when this thread's updates, as in sometimes I don't even see posts from 2 hours ago, though I've already read them, and I'm on a univ. connection, so it might be connected to thatComment

Yes, Russel, I did indeed find your post funnny. Not a bad joke.
