Ever since it was made possible to add an AI to your team it has been impossible to enable shared armies for an all AI team. Can we bring this function back, please? I understand that it won't play nice with a human on the team and therefore it's disabled for teams with humans in, but for all AI teams I'd like to see it return.
Hmm, interesting. So would it just mean shared resources and teleport links? Or would the AI have to split control of their armies? Seems like could make it more difficult for the AI to avoid stepping on each other's cold, robotic feet.
The AI has used shared armies in the past. It, in effect, becomes a single AI with multiple commanders.
According to Sorian, it's still in the code and a working feature. It has only been disabled in the UI. That issue was brought up during his last livestream, and he thought it would have been possible all the time.
I'd actually be very curious to know if it would be possible to do shared armies with an AI.... I guess it would need something in the code to prevent it messing with something *you've actively controlling*, beyond that I don't see why it would be a problem... I mean it could be great if you wanted to experiment and just let the AI do all the base building (it's pretty efficient at expanding and building)
Uber probably never realized this was a problem/issue, im sure Jables has read this thread and reported it to the team, but I seriously doubt that they will have it in the next update as they are "focusing on other important things" =P
