Singleplayer Co-op mode?

[Cznielsen]

It could be soooooo awesome to get to play multiplayer/coop mode in the world map!

Is that anything developers/mods can do?

Could be kinda cool indeed - if the Host Player can allow a friend or two to fill a companion slot, for example.

or they are there own nation. My wife realllly was excited about warband thinking this is how it was going to be.

This possible.

Other things, are not.

I would love to be able to have my friends join me in the campaign as Companions.  They would buy Warband in a heartbeat if we could do that.

It would be nice, but I want army vs army fight...I want my friends to have own kingdom and we try to take over each other...like playing mount and blade but single player style building our own army. I don't see why it can't be done.

If your friend isn't your companion, how would you get the ability to pause the world map to work? Would you get turns and be able to do a certain amount of actions and then your turn is up? hmm...

 

[MaHuD]

The time is the problem. And you can't make an RTS style campaign map a Turn based campaign map.

That would have other complications involved.  Whenever your friend has a battle that doesnt involve you the host computer has to process it.  So He might be running a battle.  Another friend might be running a different battle and you might have to run yet another battle.  Lag and processor speed would catch up with you quick, especially if they are big battles.

I don't mean to poopoo your Idea.  I personally think it would be great but I do understand the technical limitations on that front.

If you could have them as comps that would be grand ;0).

 

[Cznielsen]

Actually the time problem could be fixed if the days just passed and no pause option was allowed.

If you don't move, it would be like the wait option, and days would pass a little faster for not boring people to death.

 

[MaHuD]

No, start thinking. What about battles? Sieges?

 

[Helmut_AUT]

The entire overview map and all it's options and things you do there would need a massive overhaul for multiplayer Faction vs. Faction.

Whereas having a friend connected as companion, with a live voice/text chat on the overhead map and "spawning" into a battle in 3d under his own control is much closer to what the current MP system can do.

I'd actually love for a friend to be able and take command in 3d of PART of my own Army.

 

[Teladis]

So there is no way they could host personal battles themselves? Ya I can see where you are getting at. I doubt a mod could go that far into letting muti people spawn there own battles.

 

[Ellendar]

The most feasible way to initially do this would be to set up  a system where someone could take over one of the companions for the time of the battle.  Essentially you would play your character and I would mind control Firentus for the course of the battle. 

 

[Knil]

Is this something that could be feasibly be modded? The letting a friend play as a companion that is.

So after all

- Playing multiplayer in singleplayer campaign as it is now (with a few tweaks) // Impossible

- Letting your friends be your companions // Maybe?
