Will we be able to play with all 24 civs at once?

[Jaguar]

I'm not sure whether this question has been answered yet, but will the 16 civ at once limit be removed? I also hope for the ability to create larger maps if possible.

AFAIK yes, even 31 should be possible

32 being the barbarians

You can play with 16 civs on tiny maps too. Just change it in the editor.

I tried it once. It was quite... chaotic.

In PTW, no. The maximum at one time will be 8. In SP, I think the max. will still be 16 at a time.

You are half right, CiverDan. In MP, the limit is 8. In PTW single play, the limit will be raised to 31 at once. Of course, to get this number you would need to 'roll your own' because it'll only come with 24 civs.

In my game the largest civ had four cities in that game. And I had three while all 16 lived.

Cant wait to play with 31 and the barbs as well, many long civ sessions coming up I think.

I see some great world map scenarios coming....

All ready we have animated era-specific Ethiopian, Polish, Polynesian/Hawaiian, Scottish, and Inca leaderheads. Just two more and we can have a 31 civ world map with every civ animated leaderheads! Or we could just pick civs and add them without leadeheads.

The UGO guy said it was set to 16 when he played it didn't he? I mean I know he said this could be changed but I don't see why they would cut it in half (sure these game would take longer but if you have the time you should be able to choose it if the game can handle it). Or is the 8 player for 8 human players and up to 8 AI players? anyone 100% certain?

I think what he said was 8 humans and 8 AI but maybe he meant that's the most you could have at once of either one (though 8 AI in 8 slots would mean no players), but maybe he meant up to 7 AI or up to 8 players to fill up the 8 slots. In other words you don't need to have AI and you don't need to have humans if you don't want to but I know one of the shots said 16 players didn't it?

If the UGO guy said that, he was mistaken. You can have up to 8 players in a MP game, whether they are human or AI.

8 in an MP game nomatter what.

16 in single player using the game's generated maps on huge.

Up to 31 civs on your own created scenario.

[WarpStorm]

Don't believe that Mike B guy, he doesn't even play PTW j/k

[Tassadar500]

Imagine 31 cis on a tiny map in archiplageo. Colinization Mania!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ixnay]

And I thought 16 on a tiny map was crazy. I think I'll definitely have to try that.

And unless you have a 3 ghz processor, you'll be waiting endlessly for your turn to roll around!
