In the last dev diary they mentioned increasing multilayer to 8 players in all ages and that's amazing news.

Not sure how many people picked up on this but they're working on changing ancient age players in multiplayer from 5 to 8 by refining the Distant Lands system.

I think it's safe to assume they're going to make each continent count as the others Distant Lands in the exploration age.

It was the one thing I disliked about the reveals (the AI on Distant Lands can't spawn treasure fleets right now) so far so this is a great news.

The game is probably going to play very differently in a few months.

Also, yay hotseat is being added!
