When the game first launched nearly a full year ago now, it was possible for players to edit both config.xml as well as maps.xml in order to raise the strict - and let's be honest, anti-fun - cap of 8 players.
Since that time the ability to do so via these xml files has been taken away and the multiplayer player limit has once again been capped at 8.
In short, this is a plea for information. Has anyone been able in their own time to fix Firaxis' game for them, and expand the multiplayer lobby? To recover some liberty in this famous sandbox franchise gone awry? To be accurate, I do not mean expanding the number of human players, but instead the very simple expectation in >2026< of being able to play with the same number of AI as one can in the single-player mode of the game. For example, 4 humans + 8 AI.
TIA!
