I should be able to solo take on multiple AI

I don't really see why two player slots is a requirement – especially when it's possible to have solo players in army matches and it's possible to have only one player in AI FFAs.

I'd love to take on multiple AI at once. Sounds fun.

Sounds like a reasonable improvement.

You got a point here Brian, you should be able to take on multiple AI
But I think this will change in the future

huh? why isn't FFA with multiple AI slots an option? i don't get it.

In that screenshot you have the team armies game type selected on the left of the screen. Switch it to You vs the AI and I believe you can do exactly what you're asking.

The problem is that multiple AI one one team doesn't currently work.

The other commanders just kinda lurk for a while....

You can, but you can't do Army matches. In the You vs AI, it's FFA. And the Ai fight each other. I want them all to fight me.

Didn't know that. That's a bummer.

don't ask me game-play question, i don't have PA yet

Yeah, just went and gave it a try in-game myself. And it seems that even if you add the extra player slot it wants for Team Armies, the game won't start until another person joins in.

Yupp. Kinda annoying.

you're confusing "team armies" and "alliances"
"alliances" game mode along with "sandbox" "phantom" and whatnot are not in yet.


putting a bunch of ais in the same army is like adding more blue to your klein blue. ..it doesn't make them any stronger.

i thing i know that thing will change to the better, hopefully.

i would also like to be able to be in a player + AI team against 1 AI ..

I think it's just a limitation of the current state of the AI.

I doubt there will ever be AI on the same team as humans for Army matches. It's just... impossible.

The AI can't communicate with you, so what if he takes your units? or builds in a direction you don't want to go?

There's just way too many issues – primarily the AI using units you're using.

For Alliance, sure. But Alliance hasn't been implemented yet.

Replace "The AI" with "Your teammate" and that sounds exactly like a public game of team armies.

That's surprising.

Would be interesting to see this implemented then.

I remember being able to hack your way onto the AI's team in SC:FA with some console commands, and the AI would completely ignore any units you built or any units you took from it. Kinda surprising.

It used to be possible.. It was hotfixed several builds ago, but you could start 1 player games vs multiple AI.
