IMHO it needs quite a lot of players... 8 would be the bare minimum... but thats just my opinion... not liked im a seasoned veteran at this game though.

Yablos_Cz:
Is that mod fun with only 8players? Iam asking seriously to play it at LAN.

Well, most of our testplay is done with 8-10 players; the game can be fairly intensive even with that few people if all the players are focused to playing, and don't loiter around much. I would recommend the smaller maps, and the Treasure Hunt gametype: Harbour is the ideal map for small group of players, in my opinion. The small TDM's would also work quite well (Old forest, for example). Definitely drop Ruins from rotation, it's too big for such amount of players.


Cheers,

This mod is quite awesome. It can be a pretty intense multiplayer experience.
8 players are a bit few, but I think it would be fine for a lan, especially if everyone is within yelling distance. You have to talk smack (but not on pubs).
