Equally bad English. I think I can answer your question. There are ten different civilizations in each era. If the game settings cannot choose the same civilization. Then, before there is no supplementary package, a game can only have ten players at most. Including real players and computer simulation players. Based on some known information, I think the production team wants to have at least eight players. Of course, if there are maps of different sizes, maybe we can adjust the number of players more flexibly. Although the same civilization is forbidden by default in the civilization series. But players can still adjust the settings to make the same civilization appear at the same time. This will make the game more interesting. I hope this game can do the same. To avoid boredom before the new supplement comes out.

同样糟糕的英语。我认为我可以回答你这个问题。 每个时代有十个不同的文明。如果游戏设定不能选择相同的文明。那么，在没有补充包之前，一局游戏最多只能有十个玩家。包括真人玩家跟电脑模拟玩家。依据一些已知的信息，我认为制作组希望至少有八个玩家。当然如果有大小不同地图 ，也许我们可以更加灵活的调整玩家数量。尽管文明系列也默认禁止出现相同的文明。但玩家依旧可以调整设置让同文明同时出现。这样会让游戏变得更加有趣。我希望这款游戏也可以做类似的考虑。以避免在新的补充包出来之前人们产生 厌倦感。

i'm anxious because of Amplitude's past choice.

Endless Legend's maximum player number was

only eight. Although DLCs and 5 additional factions exist. it never changed.

I don't want Amplitude to repeat same mistake.

I don't want Amplitude to make meaningless limit lines on HUMANKIND.

While the number of available Cultures is one factor in the maximum number of players (an may be were our current goal of between 8 an 10 came from, though I do not know for sure which number will be available), tere are other factors to consider: Map size, balance, and performance. More players on a map of the same size impacts the balance and the gameplay experience, but increasing the map size requires more resources for graphics, pathfinding, and probably many other things I don't know about because I am not technically versed enough. It may even impact the AI, but I also don't know enough about that to tell for sure.
