8-player servers
Factions, alliances, and playing together

What an 8-player war actually is
People arrive from large-war games and expect a faction select screen and a 40-player map. This place is a city builder that sends troops through a tunnel onto a shared mainland. Eight seats means your alliance is whoever is in the server, not a persistent world faction with a published roster.
The three official pieces are the alliance, the defense of your city, and the fight for strategic areas. I would learn the tunnel deploy before I worry about a faction name. The troops page is honest about the missing recall button; read it before you send people you cannot get back.
Questions
How do I play together?
Join the same public server. The cap is 8. There is no evidence of a VIP server product in the data we checked. Friends still need the Roblox place link, not a separate client.
What is a faction?
The search term is “factions.” The official word is alliances. No public list of named factions was on the game page on 15 October 2026. Military packs (Eastern European, French) are cosmetic or unit packs, not a faction picker we can document.
Can an alliance share missile tasks?
Community guides say yes: cooperate on destroy tasks and on defense. That is a player report. The 8-player cap is the hard limit around it.
