I would like to try out a large MP game with 8 players and try to play it in a more practical way.

Something like this:

8 players all selecting a major nation in the standard GC.
We play every Sunday for 4 hours with everyone that can. If you can't one Sunday, you just have to trust the AI.....
You then rejoin the coming Sunday....

The suggested time would be 7.00 in the morning GMT time (London) until 11.00. No summer time..... That would mean late Saturday night for US and late Sunday afternoon for Australia.

The suggested setting would be:
* Hard difficulty
* Normal Aggresivity
* No missions
* 1 month per minute

The point with the game is that players can come and go... This means that if you don't want to continue either the AI takes over or another player joins....

Now I hope this works and if so it would be an interesting game with AAR's from different players....

Please post here if you are interested and let us discuss the setting, time etc before we start...
 
Great idea!

My Idea is that we take away some of the majors and put in some other nations... for example France for Austria. My recollections of multiplays were either France and Spain are human they kicked ass so hard that nobody else stood a change... Even Poland might have the same "effect" (I read Jinxed post "MP Game Report").

* Hard difficulty
* Normal Aggresivity
* No missions
* 1 month per minute
My suggested settings
* No points. Points is useless
* Take away some major nations that are too powerful

If somebody want to:
Everybody can play with minor nations, such as Venice, Brandenburg, Scotland etc.. It might be fun! Hehe! :D
 
Hi, I don't want to spoil your great idea, but :( ,
Have you ever played a 8 player MP game?
We played a 5 player game, and it was not a fun experience.
Players where droped all the time, and it was hell trying to get hold of everyone to start again.
And then you have the different versions of the game, when mixing German - Swedish versions there is a 50% chance of succees. So you can imagine the odds when mixing all the different versions.
So what you'll have to do in order to be able to play a decent game is this:
1. minimum connection of all players, 2MBitt
2. all players must have the same version of the game
3. tons of luck...!!

But what the heck, I like the odds, count me In..

Good luck. I tried with 8 players, and it lasted only about 5 min. I think we all had cable and adsl.

But I did manage too play a 7 player game for about 3 hours (only 1 time) before Spain dropped out.

I say 8 players is just too much for the game. Make it 7 and all should have good connection speeds.


If you need a player, I'm ready.

My ICQ is 110582673
 
Well...

We are not 8 players yet, but on Sunday I will be on my ICQ 110285848 from GMT 06.30 (morning), which should be 13.30 my time (Jakarta, GMT +7).... I don't have summer time here so I hope that don't screw things up.....


See you all...
