8 Player Observer?

[adamstrange 0]

I don't understand as to how to create an Observer map.

 

I've selected the option in WB but when I start the game it just adds me as a player rather than as a Observer.

 

The only way that I know to watch the AI battle itself is to sell my MCV at the beginning and then watch.

 

Also is there a way to create a 8 Player Observer map ?

I was always under the impression that you select observer as your faction, but I wasn't aware that you could do this in singleplayer skirmish.

You could maybe set up all the players starting buildings and teams and then check the skirmish AI thing. It would be loaded as a mission map, not skirmish.
