What's the latest on the number of maximum multiplayer's you can have playing Galactic Civilizations III now that we're on version 1.82?
Max number players limit = ??????
Max number players without it becoming a croissant (flakey) = ???????
Multiplayer limit to human players is still at 4 (however, haven't attempted to play w/ more than 2 lately)
Multiplayer limit to AI players appears to be 100, although with map limit this would be about 1-3 planets per player.
Multiplayer limit on map size remains what it was which I believe is Huge.
Max number of player without it becoming a croissant (flakey), I'm not sure what your looking for here as the main issue right now with MP is the waiting for each player to move so with a 8 player MP I could only imagine it would take forever to get to turn 100. Two player is okay but still has some long turn times. I was hoping they would eventually impliment a turn time limit but that hasn't happened. We do get a few crashes on a two player game yet usually 1 in a couple hour session, sometimes more but, depends on the game and how far you are in the game. Either way MP is not anywhere near as stable as a SP game but, better than it was.
The problem here is it takes hours of play to reproduce most of these issues and Stardock doesn't invest in good MP troubleshooting because only a small part of their customers play MP (because of it's flaws and requirement of another player). My request still holds up to play an extended MP session w/ Stardock to help eliminate these issues but, they haven't taken me up on my offer
