What is the format for Co-Op in this game? The host always have to be online, is a character locked to that game save, can you share the session with co-op partners so they can start it up without the host etc?

I would also very much like to know the answer to these questions. Any insight about how the co-op works would be appreciated!

Host always has to be online.
Character is Saved to File.
Host has to start session for friends to join, they can not play without Host.

its just a normal 4player co-op where host has to load and save file. the other players are able to do what the host can do in game but not file control wise. Host controls all the "server" options and when server is up or not.

That's a pity and unfortunate devs don't take advantage of bringing in modern co-op options, session save sharing and host not having to be online is really going backwards

I'm just thinking you can probably run a dedicated server to avoid this issue, correct?

[Ruges]

Is there Dedicated Server support? And what makes playing this game better then say Myth of Empires or Pax Dei?

No dedicated only self hosted coop of 4 players for now.
This game is nothing like MOE really. The focus of this game is more of a city builder survival with less importance placed on combat then MOE.
I have and like MOE but in some ways already this game is better with the exception of the Co-op only. No real word if Dedicated will come or not.

Give them some time this is what the end of day 3 of Early Access. They can not have everything ready to go at launch as that would not be Early Access then.

A bit late to the forum but us players need to start tagging games more concisely than Steam and the developer when it comes to coop. There are too many overlaps. I suggest we start tagging games where the player is the host and must be online to play as "player hosted coop".
