Maximum players?

[Makinus]

You know geo, you are right...

A game with a lot of human player would be very hard to play (and to organize), but would be intersting to have more slots for AI and Neutral empires.

I never play multiplayer (my work schedulle is too irregular and i lost a lot of turns Last time i tried), my objective with a higher number of empires would be to enrich the SP experience...

Well, let's hope SE5 comes with a higher empire limit, meanwhile i will continue to play agains "only" 19 other AI's...

well it would be hard to manage... Especially looking for replacements....

You can't change the max limit of empires without changing the code. It would require a patch. But there probably won't be another patch for SE4.

Hopefully SE5 will allow for more players in a game.

There are a few GUI elements that would need adjustment for more than 20 players, such as the score graph, the treaty grid, and the little icons that appear in a map sector for each empire present.
