Is anybody up for a co-op multiplayer game against some AI on very hard? I did this with my brother. we wanted a quick game but without using the "quick" pace, so it was him and me vs. Solar Dynasty (already OP) on very hard with a small map. The AI had a million air units which really made things interesting. It was pretty fun without being too long (it's hard to commit to a long-term multiplayer game). It wasn't overly difficult because there were two of us, but we could mix things up for this game.

Self-Imposed Rules:
-No early-game rushing against the enemy (that strategy is way too powerful).
-When we decide to go to war, we all declare war on all the AI at the same time (regardless of the AI diplomacy towards each other). What if they declare war first?... I don't know, we'll have to discuss that.
-Cannot accept gifts from AI, but other diplomacy is okay.
-No loading.

Other Specifics:
-2 or 3 human players.
-We're all allied.
-I'm thinking a small or tiny map (I like those for multiplayer).
-Map shape: I don't care.
-Alien Aggression: I personally like "High" but I'm thinking "Low" or "Normal" for this game just so the AI doesn't get steamrolled early on.
-The AI get to be the strongest factions (e.g. Solar Dynasty. other specifics are up for debate).
-The number of AI factions will depend on the number of human players (specific number is up for debate but if there are 3 human players we are obviously limited to 3 AI factions but I think that would still make for a fun game especially if we waited till Mechanization Era to attack).
-AI difficulty will be very hard.
-Standard pace.
-Only Military Victory.


Before you say, "That's easy" remember that we'll have to fight all the AI (very hard) at the same time. With Solar Dynasty as the AI, it was pretty evenly matched in my game with my brother because we waited a while to attack. Remember that on very hard: the more time passes, the further ahead the AI get. So 3 vs. 3 might be ideal and perhaps quite challenging.

Timing: (I live in Phoenix, U.S.A. PHOENIX TIME LINK)
-maybe Friday ...we'll see. UPDATE: I can't this day.
-Saturday after 1:00pm MST UPDATE: I can't this day.
-Sunday after 2:00 pm MST

Don't be afraid to post if you're interested. We could do multiple games. Also, don't be afraid to suggest any mods or other features to spice things up.

What about a MP duel? I feel the AI is too broken at the moment to make a coop game an interesting challenge.

The few MP game i tried were however really fun, pm me if you want to give it a shot

I am interested, but my evenings just got busy, so the times I posted above are wrong now. I won't have time until Sunday.

I don't think the AI is that far gone. In my game I mentioned with my brother, Solar Dynasty put up an awesome fight and it was a lot of fun. Sure, it wasn't a long drawn-out game, but that's not what we were going for. We wanted a quick, fun challenge and we got it.
