[GP] Increase to 12 Players

[squishyg]

Didnt this site run a couple of mega games already? With like 45 players on Arctic, with everyone starting with just one tert? How did the colors work for that game? And where do we sign up or be alerted for the next mega game?

You're referring to a battle royale. There will be an announcement the next time one starts. In the last one, only the first 8 players had colors. Everyone else was black.

[Thezzaruz]

Replace black in for one of lime green or earth and I think it works. Letter would have to be N as in noir.

Isn't "n" used for Neutrals?

[BoganGod]

Patterns could be used, ie purple and black stripes, etc. There are plenty of symbols that could be used instead of letters for denoting a color/pattern. > ~ } etc. Would be fun. Though how about more 8player maps be brought out. Still waiting for feudal epic

It has been sugested it would it take a bunch of coding to do.

add a couple more options to the max # of players allowed

Specifics:
I'd like to see 12 and it works with all the current game types, 12 singles, 6 doubles teams, 4 triples teams, 3 quad teams.
increments would be fine.
9
10
send me money
Here's 12 distinct colours with different letters for "add color codes"
red r
green g
blue b
yellow y
pink p
cyan c
orange o
silver s
maroon m
lime l
violet v
drab d

This will improve the following aspects of the site:
You can do more than two team triples and quad games.
Might make some cool tourneys also.

2 thumbs up

I hope to see this idea implemented ASAP

[jackin_u_up]

Wow What a great idea..this could add a whole new dimension too playing triples.
I would set up games right now if i could.

[ljex]

Good idea just not with the medal as there is already 3-4 team doubles with no different medal for them thus it shouldn't be different for 3 way trips.

[max is gr8]

This has been suggested many a time in the thread for 12 player games the major issue was the problem with finding 12 distinct colours.

If you kept it to only 3 triples teams you only need 1 more color

[max is gr8]

Yeah, 9 was troublesome too. There was a reason for it, though that's been suggested too.

make colour 9 = black

[Aalmeida17]

i think is not good idea will be so unfair like 3 guys standart games

[TeeGee]

i think is not good idea will be so unfair like 3 guys standart games

It really would be more like the 3 team doubles games that are currently played and has much less of a chance of being "teamed" up on than standard games

[WPBRJ]

love the idea

i always thought there should be 12 player games this way you can do up to 6 dbls teams 4 trip teams and 3 quad teams

[AndyDufresne]

An update we have slated for 2010 might have an impact on games of slightly larger size. But that will have to come first I believe before we can seriously entertain any games of slightly larger size.

Allow 9 players for triples games only

Specifics:

You can start 9 player triples games but not 9 player any other type of games.

This will improve the following aspects of the site:

It would definitely make for fun games. I really like my partners for triples games, but I'm kind of tired of facing off against just one team. This would bring the fun dynamic of three and four team doubles games to triples games. I'm pretty sure most of the maps would support it as they all have a minimum of 16 territories, though maps with 8 starting points are obviously out. (Might be an incentive to make Feudal Odyssey )

[natty dread]

Why not just increase the max. amount of players to 10? Then you could have 3 team trips and 5 team doubles...

As for colours of the extra 2 players, brown and indigo would be good.

[army of nobunaga]

I like this , I have a feeling it has been suggested a few times before.

I even like the Idea of having a Handicap match where there are 4 teams of 2. .. and one lone guy

[Industrial Helix]

Handicap would be pretty cool as well... though this is more about 9 person triples.

[2dimes]

12 for the dreaded 4 teams of 4. or 6 player teams. muhahahaha.

[fumandomuerte]

I support the 3 triples idea (9 players).

[AAFitz]

Hopefully, its just a matter of time.

Might have to see 10 first though

[Thomassaurus]

If they did this some maps wouldn't work for this like feudal, but its a good idea. Maybe 10, 12 might be over doing it.
