2 Human Players vs 1 or 2 Computer Players?

Post by MetalMilitia »

Haven't played this game in ages, but if we do co-op vs a computer player, only one of us can be 'commander'?

I could have sworn there was a way to have 2 human players on the same 'alliance' -- but each could build it's own base and control it's own units

then

have the same for the 1 or 2 computer opponents. Right now it seems like only the commander or creator of the units can move and build and deploy stuff -- has it always been that way, or what the hell am I thinking?

We are trying to do 2 human players, each with base building capabilities VS 1 or 2 computer players.

Possible or not?

There is FFA mode, but that's only human vs human.

Currently, the only mod that supports multiple commanders vs multiple AI teams is Battlezone Classic.

The mods Forgotten Enemies and Fleshstorm include 3-way maps where the player fights 2 enemy bases at once.

As GBD said, only Battlezone Classic can do two-players vs two-ai's.

EPIC also does 3 way against 2 or 3 AI, but IIRC There's a bug in the win condition, the game wins when you kill one AI, not all of them.

That's still only 1 human base though.

The map "ZTV: Death Ray" allows 2 human teams to fight against 2 CPU teams. Red Devil converted that mod for 1.3, though he might now need to update it for the latest 1.3s. I think the download is somewhere in 'The Big List of Mods' topic.

MPI with the GH recy variant with thug commanders allows multiple human teams vs one CPU team. However, that recy variant has been abused by griefers in the past, so it's best to play that variant only with those you know and trust.

I know in 1.2 ZTV Death Ray was a map that went in addon and did not cause bad assets. Can you restore that functionality to ZTV Death Ray for 1.3 PB6.4b +?
