10+ players, Could it be implanted into TA?

pretty please?

from GalCiv2 Forums

I got a last request to the devs, and thats the possibility to put more players into TA.

I once saw frogboy or another dev posted that no more than 10 would be allowed, also because it would eat to much resourches from once computer and they wanted everybody to be able to run this game.

But this is gonna be the last expansion, and computers keep getting beter and fast. So plz plz plz make an option were you can actually put 20 or even 40 AI's into a very huge battle. I think most computers out there can already handle more than the 10 AI's we have now. That would be totally totally awesome if you guys could implant that into TA.

More AIs would mean more memory usage growth, and likely the return of OOM crashes. Plus TA is already past feature lock, so it's down to doing things that are already planned, fixing bugs, and AI.

thats a shame.
Well i know the memory usage will increase, but so will the average memory in people's computer.
I have no idea with OOM means but it sounds bad :P

OOM means Out Of Memory.

When Brad was on live chat some months ago a question i asked concerned this very matter, could we have more AI races since in an immense galaxy there will be alot of empty space. Brad's response was that the game and the coding could handle up to 36 AI players but it was the UI that would not be able to support this many players. He did go on to say that a slight increase in the number of AI would not be unrealistic though, but i understood his meaning to be in GC3 not in any expansion.

He also said it would be possible to Mod it yourself. That would take some doing though i would imagine.
