Co-op Play in the Future?

This exciting new release is a faithful adaptation of the renowned Conflict of Heroes board game that won the Origins Historical Game of the Year, Charles Roberts Wargame of the Year and the James F. Dunnigan Design Elegance Award, as well as many others!

Designed and developed in cooperation with Uwe Eickert, the original designer of Conflict of Heroes, and Western Civlization Software, the award-winning computer wargame studio, no effort has been spared to bring the outstanding Conflict of Heroes gameplay to the computer. Conflict of Heroes includes an AI opponent as well as full multiplayer support with an integrated forum and game lobby. To remain true to the core gameplay of the board game, the PC version is designed to be fun, fast and easy to play, though hard to master. The game design is also historically accurate and teaches and rewards platoon and company-level combined arms tactics without overwhelming the player with rules.

Co-op Play in the Future?

Post by IronFist00 »

This one is for either Eric or Erik. Are there any plans, particularly with the Storms of Steel expansion/sequel (not sure which way to classify it) to allow a 4 player game? Specifically two human players teaming against the AI? This is one area the PC game can shine compared to the board game (at least until the solitaire rules are released).

There are a lot of good 4 players scenarios included in the series and I know my friends and I have often talked how cool it would be if we were able to co-op as the Germans against the Soviets played but the AI(s). We're not always in the mood for head-to-head play. [:)]

Here's an example of what I am asking about/requesting. It's a perfect little firefight to play as the Germans (you and a friend) against the AI (preferably two AIs so it can be played as a 2v2 online) as the Soviets. I also think the CAP to VP ratio is interesting and a cool dynamic part of the game.

I'm drooling just thinking about it.

There are no definite plans for this at the moment. Things like this will really depend on how well the game continues to sell.
