So how does this Campaign Multiplayer idea sound?

[Toho]

so I was thinking for people that want to play COOP campaign how about we have a scenario like this:

Basically both players choose a faction and play the game as if they are playing a single player campaign but for each turn there is a maximum of 1 to 5 mints time limit that is set by the players before starting the campaign.
Also if the players face any AI battle then the other player may participate either as half the player's army to assist him or play as the AI to give him a much more challenging fight.

I think this would be a pretty fun concept and I doubt either shogun or napoleon have anything like this right?

I think this is pretty much exactly the multiplayer campaign from Napoleon and Shogun. They have drop in battles and pre-agreed turn time limit, not that I have played it myself.

I was thinking your friend play that role instead of some random online player.
has that been done?

[Sharpe]

I'm sure you can play with a Steam friend or a random player. So you can be against the human players or you can be allies.

Shogun and Napoleon have exactly these features down to the letter.

Pretty much is S2TW and NTW MPC modes in a nutshell, great idea!

(use the search function, loads of threads on MPC and how to improve it)

Coop has most of these features. Just try it for shogun 2. When i play battles, i gift my cav to my friend so he can control some of my army while i battle. There is already a turn limit and it can be ajusted to your play through or be turned off completely. You should really try one. It even works with mods i used. You are missing out if you havn't tried this feature.

guess I have been missing out stuff since empire, haha, well cant wait if they have the same features to be implemented to R2.
It would make this whole Rome vs Carthage thing much more interesting if I am against my buddy

I hear you on that, because last I've played was ETW and it looks like I've been missing out a whole lot too! Multiplayer campaign has been my dream since R1.
