Mega Games are large-scale War.app Classic multiplayer games that support more than the normal 40-player limit. Mega Games can contain up to 400 players, making them suitable for massive free-for-all battles and large team-based events.

Mega Games function similarly to standard multiplayer games but have several unique rules and restrictions.

Special Features

Mega Games include several features designed to support large player counts:

  • Additional player colors are available, including patterned colors such as stripes, squares, circles, and triangles. These patterns help distinguish players when hundreds of participants are present in the same game.
  • Mega Games are automatically advertised on the Multi-Player Dashboard to help attract participants and fill more quickly.
  • Open seats never expire, allowing Mega Games to remain available until they fill or are manually started by the game creator.

Restrictions

Mega Games have the following restrictions:

  • All player slots must use Open Seats. Private Mega Games cannot be created.
  • Fixed teams are not permitted. Mega Games must be either free-for-all games or use random teams.
  • Real-Time Games are not allowed. Mega Games must be multi-day.
  • Coin entry fees are not permitted, although coin prizes may still be offered.
  • Only mods approved for Mega Games may be enabled.
  • If mods are enabled, membership requirements are waived and any player may join.
  • If a custom scenario is used, it must use randomized slots to ensure that the game is fair to all players.
  • Creating a Mega Game costs 200 coins, plus 5 additional coins for every player slot above 40.

Starting a Mega Game

Because Mega Games use open seats, players join them through the Open Games system.

Unlike normal open-seat games, Mega Games never expire from the Open Games list while waiting for players to join.

The creator may choose to start the game before all seats have been filled by using the Start Game button.

Creating a Mega Game

The option to create a Mega Game appears on the standard multiplayer game creation page directly below Invite via Code. This option is only visible to players who have at least 100 coins.
