This is the settings FFA should be played, created by Cycion in the following link

All 8 players will have same name, and before starting game, they switch the host, so the host’s identity remains a secret too. Second host also switches the host so that noone would know who is who.
After game finishes, everybody will reveal their idendity and SURPRISE11. Its gonna be so much fun!!
I suggest that they all make their nicks Carlos Ferdinand.

NAME Game
Play a game where you know none of your allies or enemies. Forge alliances on the go and hope you made the right choice. Your identity is a secret well kept!
Settings
Game Type: Random Map
Map: Maps with (natural) borders. Open maps and Oasis are not so good.
Number of players: 5-8
Map Size: According to the players or bigger
Teams: FFA, Teams unlocked
Speed: Normal
Victory: Conquest
Rules
All players have the same name: “NAME”. Clients such as GameRanger or playing through LAN will make this possible. Before the game starts it’s best to switch host, so the host’s identity remains a secret too.
No more than 2 allies at any time in the game! Ending up with 2 vs 6 is not fun.
Keep your identity hidden at all costs!
Civilisations
All civilizations are good at NAME Games. It all depends on the map and how the game evolves.
Hints & Tips
Scouting: Scout all of the map! Knowing the lay of the land is important, and you don’t know where your ally will be in advance.
Trading: Trade is hard but may be handy. Try to have a clear view on the alliances when putting down a traderoute.
Players: It’s most fun to play this game with friends or known players. Trying to recognize your friends by their playstyle is often more fun than actually winning the game.
I suggest that they all make their nicks Carlos Ferdinand.
