  It wasn't a mod. It was a custom 8 player map that you had to have two people join as observers and then they would be able to play when the map loaded. Is this standard now with the Elite patch?
  
  And I am not familiar with the world builder. Can you elaborate more on how I might set up an 8 player game? What would I need to install, update? What files would I need to grab?

  You can do 4v4. All you need to do is make a map with 4 bases. You can just add 1 base to already existing 3v3 maps for instance and move the other 3 around a bit. There are some 4v4 maps out there somewhere, You'll need to find those. The problem however with all those maps was that the resource points somehow became the 1v1 resource points, leading in massive amounts of resources...
  
  Grtz.
  
  (You guys can also split up in 2v2's or play a mini tournament, etc )

  Thank you! So is there an archive of maps somewhere where I can find a 4v4 map?

  Found a link to an SGA you can put in the Mods folder. It's the mediafire link in the group description.: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/dow2ret4v4mod
  
  Got the maps to work as well. You won't be able to see the last two people to get into the lobby because the UI bugs out when a map has 4 players, but they are there. I got it to work with AI when I moved myself to an obs slot in a 3v3 and then switched to a 4v4 map. My lobby portrait disappeared, but I was still able to play the game.

  Thanks Wise! Do I need to have any of the updates enabled that I have been reading about like Elite? Or will it work with vanilla steam updated DoW2?
