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.

Isn't "n" used for Neutrals?

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 :(

Increase to 12 players. [Poll added - JoshyBoy][Submitted]

Post by Kenwhite1973 »

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


Concise description:
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.

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.

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 :D

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

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

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.

9 Player Triples

Post by Industrial Helix »

Concise description:
    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 :P)

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.

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 :-)

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

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.
