how does co-op work?

[Anon]

can someone explain the co-op of this game to me? i'm guessing it isn't campaign related, and it's a sort of shared base in versus mode or something like that?

During co-op players can share the same fort, or multiple forts. All of them share the same resource pool. Each of them can build, and control any weapon, but only one player per weapon at a time.

In Team Death Match the game tries to separate the players on a side into different forts as much as possible, and each fort has its own resource pool.

So no co-op during campaign? That's a bit of a shame. I'm not really sure if it's really fair to call online team skirmish for co-op.

regardless, I saw a lets play where 4 guys were playing against 4 AIs but even though they had 4 cores/bases they still shared the same resource pool (the video is around half-a-year old).

EDIT: and everyone gets the same comander?

In Co-op, the resources are shared, and in Team Death Match, each player gets their own. Commanders are shared across the team.

So in co-op you can have both one shared core or multiple cores?

These guys had both a map with 4 cores where they shared their resources and a map with 1 core where they shared their resources. so i guess those are both co-op? :|

[[DEV] Noze]

Yes.

[Anon]

Okay. But no campaign co-op?

[[DEV] Noze]

No. It's something we might look at in the future though.

[[DEV] BeeMan]

I'd like to have a go at making that happen in a limited way. Just have not had the time yet.

Cool :) best of luck!

Aye, the online coop is a little misleading. I get that you can play cooperatively in a skirmish game, but coop for me is playing coop in the campaign. Still, great game :D keep up the good work!

How active is the co-op scene, as opposed to PvP?

[Rudolf Fischer]

So no coop-mode? Only Versus-mode(wie teams where some players are coop)?

[[DEV] BeeMan]

Huh? You can play co-op (in the same fort or multiple forts) or team death match (on the same side but different forts) against a computer/AI or human opponent.
