You could always take a four player map and play Team Melee 1v1v1v1. (That's where two people control the same units/ buildings.)

I'm a big fan of 2v2v2v2's though. I think you get much more interesting multi-front wars.

There's not a lot of team maps with shared entrances, so I tried making a few of my own, but as I'm not a great mapmaker, your mileage may vary, but this is the latest version of the map we used in that 3v2v2 LAN blog I did 2 years ago.

you can play the best 8 player map. Fastest map possible!

btw does anyone know whats the name of that ums that was a race in a square where you had to run for multiple laps and each lap you had a new unit.

I think many people here on TL would disagree with your first statement.

Not that one. In the one i am talking about everyone gets a new unit every lap and you try to slow down your opponents while you go on. Sometimes you get a slow unit, sometimes a fast one. Super fun game.

Have you considered the MMO-Champion forum? You are just as irrational and delusional with the right portion of nostalgic populism. By the way: The old Brood War was absolutely unplayable

Not sure about problems with newer Mac OSs, but shouldn't BW generally run on Macs?
Anyway, you could always just use any old Windows PC/laptop any one has lying around to run the game... When in doubt, some dusty old piece of junk with something like win95 on it would actually be the least-worries solution...

It took us an hour to get all of our setup issues resolved but we were eventually able to play 8 player brood war for hours. We got the computers (macs included) connected to the wifi and used an ethernet for our no-wireless-card desktop. We played a few 4v4s, a 2v2v2v2 (on Friends?) and an 8 player free for all (on Wheel of War). We just randomly chose 8 player maps and they generally all turned out to be fine. One map was really low econ and one map only had a few vulnerable expansions. After the first game we had a much better idea of how to balance teams and games were much more even after that. Thanks for all of your help everyone. We'll definitely be doing this again.
