Multiplayer (Co-op)

[Guest Judge Grim]

Ok folks... I must be a total moron... is it possible to play co-op over a LAN? if so how? I can play AGAINST others on my Lan but can't figure out how to play co-op. Also it runs S L O W over my 10MB lan even with the slowest computer haveing graphics turned all the way down (celeron 550 w/160 MB's of ram) Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated... Thanks!

Coop campaign isn't available in LAN.

According to what WW says, they're working on it but still doesn't know if it'll be available soon.

A preview said that you could play multiplayer co-op, but then it was only available over the internet. I was quite upset. Why didn't they say anything?

I don't think they're ever going to allow co-op over a LAN. It would be too much work.

Lot of work but lot of complain. WW is working only with complaining. And they said the'yre working on it and said too that it provides a lot of work...

Wow! Thanks for the fast response guys... So where can you use this ally command I read about somewhere only over internet?

Thanks again!

The ally key, as I recall, is 'A' and you hit 'A' after you click on an opponent's unit. But make sure the opponent allies with you, too, because he could attack you but you couldn't attack him. YadaYadaYada, it's in the manual. And yes it is only used on the internet. Too bad, too.

Yeah Westwood's gotta fix these annoying problems. This isn't on LAN but its on the net, thats not in the net but on LAN. God what were they thinking

[tobias]

why would it be harder to implement coop

campaign over wan than lan?

If I want to be nice: It's got something to do with Westwood generating stuff on their servers.

If I want to be nasty: They're just too lazy.

You choose which one sounds best.
