24 civs in multiplayer

[KaiserIsak]

The title says it all, is it possible to play with 24 civs in a multiplayer game, for example in a PBEM game? If not, have any of you been able to use the editor, so that you may do so?
I feel there is little point to buy ptw if its not possible to play huge multiplayer scenarios with 24 civs. just imagine ww2 world scenario with 24 different civs on a multiplayer.

Nope, 8 is the max in all MP games.

Good God man woiuldn't 24 civs take forever in PBEM? Like years?

I guess you won't be buying the game then

Actually, i did´nt want all the 24 to be human, 22 could be AI-players.

The thread was about PBEM, he mentioned it specifically in the first post. and that's what I responded to.

I one of the chats Mike says that 8 slots is max for a MP game. Seems to me that it's hardcoded to that in anyway. I would really like having alot more AI in a game on a Huge map, 8 players aint enough.

I'd like 24 available for hot seat as well. Even if the human controlled were limited, I want more AI civs to beat up on.

I suppose 24 humans playing MP in hot seat, would make that seat very hot indeed...

Do anyone really want to wait all the lag of a 24 civ, on a very huge map? My best wishes to have fun!
