Can the Weewar engine handles 8 players? I'm thinking 4x4 stuff.

xxl sizing.

One round would take quite a while, I reckon. 

the main reason to have 6 (vs 7,8,x)  is colors actually. Quite difficult to come up different enough sets. That and the impact on game duration. Technically there is not reason to limit the number at all.

(but 8 sounds good)

what if teams are implemented?  then say for a 2v2 game, or 3v3, or 4v4, especially in relation to the color issue for a 4v4 game, why not have the one team all be blue and the other all be red.  then each team member can move any and/or all of their team's units... just a thought that was spurred on due to the issues brought up above. 

Right on, luckymustard.

Not to mention the previous suggestion of letting people pick their own #RRGGBB.
 

in team play, teammates could be same color with either a colored underbar or an alphanumeric label to differentiate.

umm? a team color with a flag corresponding to the player?

 

I think team players both controlling one combined team would be kinda weird...

meh, options FTW

yes it would be the ultimate act of trust in ones teammates intelligence (and more to the point weewar game savvy)

yes 4x4 would be fun, but only when teams are implemented, thing of the zoc issues before then.

has anyone ever done a 3v3, or even a 2v2v2?

that'd be hard as hell to keep track of.  i think i'd actually have to break out Excel and keep track of what's going on in a spreadsheet...

We been doing several 3x3 and 2x2.

3x3:

We're sort of 8 friends that moved from a previous game... hence the 4x4 thing. =)

@ Alex: Possible colors are Grey / Black / Orange / Brown / Bronze

Colour idea: Make each team/player a pair of colours.  Like, pants one colour, tops another.  Raiders could have a thick sports stripe, planes could have their wings done in the second colour, etc.  Then you'd have plenty more options.

that's essentially the idea behind football uniforms...

Woot!

it can be done. perhaps the visuals have to expand by a pixel or two, but it can be done.

the canopy of the raider needs to be one of those two colors, instead of that light gray/blue/transparent.

A teams option sounds fun.  I'm in for the idea.  Not too sure about 8 players, though...  We'd have to suggest the two new colors.

 

teamgames are fun. At the moment I only have this running ( http://weewar.com/game/34985 ) but I usually have several teamgames on.

The one above is quite over, as its north vs south
