[IDEA] Multiplayer Galactic War Campaign (not Multiplayer Bracket GW)

I would love Galactic War that was released, to be playable with more players. 2-40, whatever, I would settle with 2 or 4. I would even find it a cool stretch to play against each other.

My basic request though, is a coop campaign. The singleplayer one we got, except with 2 people or more. You can both land on individual ones and it shows a "in progress" if 1 is ingame until "they submit a result win or loss" (which is how it works now except local I guess), or you can land on 1 and if two players are on 1 space and start they both start into the same game. As a stretch again, if 1 guy is in-game and another guy joins him midway, he lands on the starting player's landing zone and he can join in on build power and resource generation and army control and such.

That is a **** load of programming to request. That would be badass though. I have no doubt it would come out after server is released sometime, but I HAD to suggest this with the awesome factor.

I really do want to do some kind of multiplayer galactic war. I had been thinking about it as a clan vs clan type thing. Your idea bears thinking about that.

I think you should just open up a lobby titled "galactic war" and anyone could join...

Indeed, it could be a lot of fun. I was under the impression that MP GW was just PvE and not PvP (not that thats a bad thing at all).

MP GW is a confirmed feature, just not in yet. Co-op I suspect is a natural extension of this.

they have talked about clan vs clan GW and the like as well.

Oh, I know. I was just saying, boneyards galactic war or whatever is MP Galactic War, but this tech slot thing as a campaign is fun, and if one could coop vs randomly generated AI systems it would be fun.

I actually never played a FA or boneyards galactic war before, it sounds like a chess site I used to play, where multiple randomly assembled teams would start a meta game, and play against each other, and 3 eliminations removes a player, and you would play a game "sometime" throughout the day and the results would progress 1 "turn" that day and it goes the next day and next day, usually takes 10 days. and I think pretty much 1/4 are eliminated the first 4 days.

That sounds good for a multiplayer multi-match spanning type game, but this procedurally generated campaign mode is interesting.

ALL THE AWESOME.

is there chance of different versions, or goal gw?

I think it would be cool if your beginning planet was say your homeworld and had a limited amount of commanders on it say like 50 as a temp number and then you and your opponents (ai or players) go around fighting with those commanders counting as defense or attacking commanders and when you lose one your commander counter goes down. so the way to win is to exterminate all the commanders that your enemies have or capture the homeworld and the faction is out

does anyone else think that would be a cool way to play? the tech system could be part of that or it could be removed for full gameplay depending on what people wanted too

I firmly believe coop should be an integral part of GW - TA, Supcom, FA, Spring, Zero-K, all of them have one thing in common - the cooperative 'comp stomp'. Looked down on by many competitive players perhaps, but I suspect that probably 50% or more of games played online are cooperative vs the AI. Having a meta-game where each comp-stomp with your friends has meaning and an effect on your next one? Absolutely epic.

GW's are already hosted on your servers.. open them up for our friends to join and help out...

+1 to cooperative Galactic War! Not all my friends can handle the pressure of PvP, but it would still be great to include them as much as possible.
