8 Player Maps? - **++heresy redacted++** Here

Hi everyone and anyone out there that still mods for this game. I am running a LAN Party in 2 weeks and we inevitably seem to play about 4-5 hours of DoW2. I tried last time to find a map file that supports 8 players. Unfortunately, it seemed like there was a trick to it that I couldn't quite figure out at the time. Also, I might have had some legacy map files that no longer work with the game for one reason or another.
Would anyone here be kind enough to help me get this set up for my group of gamers? It sucks to be the odd 2 people sitting out when the group plays a 6 player game.
Thanks!

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

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.
