Can we get 2v2 games?

First off, i want to say that I am beyond excited for this game and i already love playing it. TA was the first PC game i ever played back in grade 6 and i still think its the best RTS game i have ever played. Thank you so much for making this game!!!

Personally i think being able to be on a team and do 2v2 matches would make it a lot more fun because who doesn't love making a giant army with somebody right? I understand its still early in alpha but i was wondering what the timeline for this sort of game being implemented would be.

Thanks!

This was on june 17th though

Interesting request.

Interesting response :O

I actually would really love to see 2vs2 in soon. I just bought alpha access for my friend so he can play with me, but we are forced to fight to the death

I'm guessing it has something to do with these:

Yes. We will be rolling out some UI changes that allow you to setup more arbitrary games including multiple players per army.

Note this isn't the same as alliances which will come later.

Multiple persons on one commander before multiple commanders working together? Interesting.

I think he means multiple Commanders in the same army. Heh, it'll be kinda like Magicka.

Player one: WHERE THE UNHOLY **** DID MY TANKS GO?!
Player two: I used them to scout an asteroid.
Player one: ALL OF THEM?! ALL TWO HUNDRED OF THEM?!
Player two: Yeah. It was a big asteroid.

Ideally, both teams will be making mistakes like this. It'll make for much more interesting games, balanced more by the fact that people are stupid than by straight-up numbers.

Multiple players per army, legit?

Honestly, can this game get any cooler?

Cannot wait.

I find team games far more fun than 1v1 or FFA, personally. They're more dynamic Also, if you **** up, someone else can get your back.

I'm with you on that one can't wait for team based games

Finally, an RTS that makes using teamspeak mandatory. I like it.

It'll be really nice to see how divvying up responsibilities works when you have two people using the same units. Give the army to one guy and the econ management to the other and I think you'll see some great stuff happen.

Welling seeing as how i can predict the next patch through asking questions my next question is when do giant experimental bots come out?

by the way thank you for the update, its more than i was expecting and its awesome!

Will alliances come in alpha or beta?

Its out when it's out. Give them a break, they are already locked in a basement somewhere in the arctic.

It's a simple question and i'm sure they will have an answer.

Sometime before release is about as accurate as I can be.

OK Thanks

Make sure you are able to draw stuff and put labels like in zero-k. Makes communicating so much easier.
