Does "carryover" work in MP?

Post by GottaLove88s »

If we add "carryover" to the top of campaign.txt and add carryover units to a .bam map, these are carried over in single player games...

So, theoretically, if we add "carryover" to the campaign.txt and add carryover units to the .bam map for a multiplayer game, can we create "carryover" multiplayer campaigns... where both players work their way sequentially through a number of scenarios...?

I'm thinking this would make play much more realistic... no more insane risks just to get one more flag... and it would be fun to play a genuine MP campaign of multiple scenarios in order...

Multiplayer games aren't linked in the same way, so carryover wouldn't do anything in a MP game.

Thanks Pip, That clarifies. Right now carryover won't do anything for MP...

Theoretically, it would be kind of neat to be able to have carryover for multiple map MP campaigns... Any chance for a future update?

It's not something we are planning on. It would probably only be of interest to a small % of players. I will add it to the long-term wishlist though :)

Cheers
