MP Campaign Forced Auto-Resolve!!!

I know this has been posted before, several times, just wanting to see the latest on it, any remedies?

Ok, just asking now if there is a remedy for this now, what options need to be selected, if play as AI should be checked or not, if fight battles should be checked or not?


I would like to play campaign with friend as allies, and fight the battles, no auto-resolve. I could care less if there is ai controlled armies or not, just fighting battles against ai is fine.

Any solution for this yet, as I don't want to call it a bug because I hear people saying it is not a bug. So then, what is the remedy for people who want to play against the ai in battles, when they are allied with other players in MP?

I don't necessarily want humans to play as ai either, just a coop campaign against the ai.

Anybody?

AFAIK it's not possible. In MP campaign you either play a battle against the other human, or you autoresolve.

Thanks, that's ridiculousness. They couldn't put in an ai army in there some how? Anyone else know of anything?

Can you image how dull that would be for the other player though 45Colt?

True, they would have to sit around on there thumbs.

Dull indeed.

But if I am allied with the other person, can I split my army in two and the other person will play my other army with me against ai?

Because then what is the point of allying with my friend if he has to fight me anyway in battles?

It's not that bad. Take it as your friend simply being there to make battles actually enjoyable - instead of a brain-dead AI you can both play battles that are not decided before they even began.

I'm currently playing a Peninsular Campaign with me playing as British and my friend as Spanish. We are allied on the campaign map but we both enjoy battles that you can actually lose.

It can be good and enjoyable if both players are quite equal in their skills (což doufám jsme, štěrbi ). The problem is when one of the players is much better in battles than the other. In that case even when you have more troops and better general, you can and you will lose the battle. That can make your game annoying and not enjoyable in any way.

I suggest you to find someone which is similar stategist as you are. I also think it would be nice if players could decide whether they will fight against AI or human player. Alas, that option is missing at the moment.

Or you simply allied with the other and played as the AI. Just sent a unit after another unit to the enemy front and toggle fire at will off. And you can pull off a victory with 0 losses!!!

It's a game, not a competition. If the other player did such a thing, then why would you even play the game with him in the first place ?

Solution: If fighting with opposing nation to both player, split one player's army if half then both take command (You might meet a troll and screw up your army that's CON)
If fighting with opposing nation to one player, let another player takes control of AI troop, If they both co-op that's bad they might just let it be slaughter fest.

That's one thing to dream of cause it will never happen.
