Actual 40 players game started at 49:00

I saw the end of it, live. It was very nice.

Also I guess this confirms that 40 player games are possible.

I'd like to see a 20v20. Imagine trying to manage your econ with 19 other players.

First 20 mins, total black out.

Then 3 hours of excessive factroys and powerplants, with -1300 net metal.

I suppose that's one way to stress test the server hardware.
If commander explosions left craters...

I think once the alliances system is in place, you will see that. Without shared unit control.

Nah you'd see it in team armies. But it would very much be clan wars with one team managing eco and other teams managing army movement and so on. It would have to be rather hierarchical with one player managing overall strategy and so on

We're definitely going to try a 20v20 tonight

I tried a 100 slot team army game yesterday (10 armies, 10 players each) having 90 of them controlled by AI.

That worked surprisingly well, until due to the sheer mass of units the simulation slowed down to a crawl.

According to this, the scale of the game supports large numbers of commanders surprisingly well.

Ask for the 20v20 economy, you would probably do it one of two ways. So many players would be dedicated to economy and only economy, and divide the players amongst planets as well. Or, divide it up where each player has to make sure to use their own metal.

You just described a game with 19 random teammates. Probably couldn't beat 1 AI with that sheer eco stall.

Please Post it if you do!!!!

We've got enough Casters / YouTubers / Streamers / various other personalities in the Realm - I'm sure it will be extremely well documented!

20v20 will be an unplayable lagfest with nonstop arguing of 'don't touch my commander' and it will also be unbalanced teams. Oh and not all the commanders will spawn, so yeah not as great of an idea as it sounds.

Let me dream

You could do a 40 player FFA . Hungergames in PA, and imagine how many names would be on the left xD

YO scrublord 69 how dare you make Wrongcat cry....

such mean
so hurt
wow

And this is why voicechat should be mandatory. Not to stop it, God no, but so it's captured by the casters for our enjoyment

Who the **** would be crazy enough to try a 20-person team without voice chat? That's insanity!

You cant. You are limited to 10 armies. What you can modify is how many players are allowed in an army.

Another 40 player game now .
