How does co-op campaign work?

[Sledgehammer]

Is it like Civilisation, were you both control a faction and can ally/enemy with anybody?

I'm curious how war works also..

[Drew_Berrymore]

It doesn't work. Everytime I try to play the game bugs out and either me or my friend are dropped from the game!

Two modes for coop:
Cooperative and Head to Head.

In both modes you control separate factions, you got yours and your friend has theirs.

In Cooperative mode you are forced into a military alliance and peace treaty with your coop friend, and you can not break that alliance.
You might suffer diplomatic penalties with AI factions if your coop friend is using a faction they hate.

Head to head - complete freedom to do whatever you please, including fighting with each other or allying with each other.
Your coop partner's faction has all the diplomatic options with you, just like it was an AI faction.

One addition in TWW 2 is that if you select Cooperative then your coop friend will have to play the other legendary leader for your race.
If you pick Head to head then you two can pick any race combinations you want.

So how does war work? Do you just control your own stuff and your friend does whatever he is doing at the time?

[Ruges]

In coop you control your armies and he controls his armies. You can fight them in the same battle against the enemy since you are allied. If you dont have an army in the battle you can spectate it.

In head to head you can take control of the enemies armies in battle. even if they are not yours.

[Broth of Crom]

In coop, you can GIFT your coop partner units in your army. This is temporarily and for the present battle, for him to command. You can only do this if he didn't bring his army as "reinforcments."

What about the ritual, tho? Do both work towards it together or seperate?

And this part seems bugged to me. when one does the ritual it counts for both. however your ritual stones are counted seperatly.

I have read somewhere that both work together (same progress) but it takes double the amount to perform a ritual. So that's not true?

[Ruges]

we have different progress and a different amount stones. When I started the first ritual he was still like 100 stones behind what I had. However when I completed the ritual he got credit for it.

I believe you can gift each other ritual currency in coop.

I've not actually tired a multiplayer campaign yet, but I see some games in the lobby with high turn numbers. Does that mean it would be possible for me to sort of drop in for an hour and out again? I'd like to play a multiplayer campaign but don't really have the time to play with someone from start to finish and don't want to mess up someone else's game by quitting part way through.

So my buddy and I are trying to do head to head mutliplayer compaign. But for some reason we can't play Avelorn against Followers of Nagash?? Can anyone explain to me how we can? We both have the dlcs for both of those factions... please and TY

Do you both own Warhammer 1 and 2? You'll need both.
