As expected with the 13 years that have passed since the game released, I am unable to find much of a variety of 8 player maps for skirmish. Back in the day there used to be tons but now I can only find a handful and the handful is getting boring. I am open to adding anyone's maps to my game if they want to share them with me. Just please make sure they are compatible with the AI.

You should play the Advanced AI Mod.

Or you could contract someone to make a map for you.
Different map maker's have different styles and different specialities.
I'm not good at realistic terrain but I can script and mod and make AI compatible maps.
I tend to use straight lines and precision maths in my maps, I just don't tend to share them very much.

I am open to playing any 8 player maps for Zero Hour. I would love to try your maps out. As far as contracting goes, I was thinking of asking you for possible help in making a new general. It would be awesome using the one I have in mind. On that note, what are the limitations as far as amounts go for infantry, vehicles, etc?

Personally I use what's already in the game with some tweaking. If someone makes the models for me I'd be able to add new buildings and units.
When I get back from holiday I'll make a couple of maps for you and put the alpha of my general on my website.

Thank you and that's not a bad idea using the stock maps and working with them. How is your general structured? I am still trying to understand the limitations as far as limits allowed for each general. How many vehicles, infantry buildings and such. Knowing that, I could try to outline a general and maybe start working on it.

I meant I tweak the existing units. I make my maps from scratch. The limit on buildings and units is as many as you can make buttons for.
I'd limit the buildings to about 12 and the unit's to about 12 per production buildings.
