Specifying Teams

Post by skeeta »

Hey guys. I'm just having a play with making my own map and was wondering if there was a way of making ensuring that it's only possible to have 2 teams in opposition? By that I mean only have the option when starting a game of making it 1v1, 2v2, 3v3 or 4v4.
Basically I have a few ideas that require a pair of teams against each other to work. I'm fairly certain that it's not possible but it can't hurt to ask anyway.

Current map policy is that every map must work on as many settings as possible. Restrictions are rare and up to this point have only been a player count restriction (6 players instead of 8, one case of 7). While you can optimize the map to work best for two opposed teams, it'll still be playable on any setting combination.

Which map is restricted to seven players, if you don't mind me asking? I'm aware at least one of the feudal maps is restricted to six.

I'd love to know. I thought Feudal War was the only one with a restriction of 6 players. I don't know about a 7 player map.

AoR3 specifically. AoR1 and AoR2 are limited to 6p, along with Feudal War as previously stated.

I suspected as much.
I'll have a think about it and see if it can be reworked
