is it Online Co-Op?

[ThumpieBunnyEve]

this series is one i used to play 15++ years ago on n64
So its more my thing then my boyfriends, but id like to play together with him
NOT against him. Does this game support such in some way?

As a girl gamer, i tend to drive hard and accell at games in a way he usually doesn't, though usually not RTS, because its slow and boring watching others do for me what i can do better myself. RTS is more his thing. I play action as if I've got something to prove. Determination OoRah! But that sort of behavior isn't for directing at him. I refuse. The only challenge from me i want to provide him is the challenge to rise up and stand with me with equal zeal and dedication knowing an equal has got his back! *^-^*

That said, Im deeply interested in games where RTS and live piloting/action game skills both can win the battle, in a Online-Co-Op situation. is this one of such games?

Yep - the MPI gamemode (multi-player instant) allows multiple players to fight against the AI.

thank you! im guessing thers no campaign mode as co op, but still missions will be good!

The Greenheart MOD also allows for your boyfriend to also build up his own base separate from yours, but also be your ally in your fight against the AI. That MOD is also included in my Aegeis All In One Mod which also has several other Mods and their features, such as additional units, weaponry, building upgrades, and harder AI, as well as additional maps to fight on.

TY ill share this convo with him so he can get the same mod :}

The standard MPI mode is 1 person (not necessarily the host) takes the role of Commander. They control the base and overall strategy from either in their ship or in top-down satellite view. Up to 3 other players take the role of Thugs. They can be given units to help defend the base or assault the enemy. They rely on the Commander for extra ships should they lose theirs. Thugs cannot use the satellite view.

The Greenheart Mod (found also in the Aegeis' All in One Mod) allows the Commander to build a Thug Recycler that can be passed off to start their own mini-base. You stay on the same team.

If your BF is more of an RTS fan than an FPS fan, let him be the Commander, or play on a suitably large map and rush for the Thug Recycler so you can both build a base and use the satellite view.

How do i set up the AI in MP, iam currently using this free mp weekend demo thx4help!

[Bytesmee]

The mode is determined by the map, so make sure the map has MPI in the title. The enemy race is chosen on the first page of options where it lists the players. Extra options are hidden away on other pages that determine skill, cheats, units, etc.

Not all maps allow for MPI. Some are Deathmatch or Strategy only.

I would suggest taking a look at some of the mods also. Some amazing things as well as co-op have been created.
