Poll / Suggestion: Shared Civilization Co-Op Mode

Age of Mythology: Retold Discussion
1

I’d like to suggest a new co-op game mode and hear what you guys think:

The core idea is allowing multiple players to control the same civilization in a single match, fully sharing the same base, resources, units and map vision. This could create a more dynamic and cooperative experience, while also helping new players learn how to play different Gods — for example, one player already knows the God’s economy start and progression, while the other joins in more actively later in the game.

(This mode would open up a very fun and strategic cooperative experience. Players could split roles naturally: one focuses on economy and base building, another on army control and raids, another on map pressure or defending against myth units. With multiple players building and fighting at the same time, maps would feel more alive, more populated, and battles could happen across the entire map simultaneously. I truly believe this would be a unique, highly replayable mode and a big hit for cooperative play in Age of Mythology.)

Which version of this mode would you like the most?

  • Two players: controlling the same God Both players have full control over economy, buildings, units and army.
  • Commander & Support mode: One player has full control of the civilization, while the second player can only control military units already created, focusing purely on battles, raids and map pressure.
  • Configurable shared control (permissions system): The main player can toggle permissions in-game (via a small options box), choosing what the second player can control — for example: full control, economy/buildings only, or army only. Permissions could be changed at any time during the match.

I’m not sure if this is related enough but I could also use a share civilization with ally options. Like normal standard play but you can control each others units as well as your own. This would help for a better player to nudge a less experienced player every now and then when he needs it (with permission, of course).

This as a skirmish option would also allow you to play as two civilizations in case you needed more flavor and micromanagement in your life, and also open up split-pantheon or separated army moments for scenarios.

Would be a cool idea, kinda warcrat 3 style.

Archon Mode where two players play as one is a failed experiment on SC2 but on the other hand Coop mode is very successful which AoM can emulate. Arena of the Gods with the legends are still lacking lack unique units per legends and a skill tree for each legend. Hopefully they will expand more on Arena of the Gods and more Mythical battles.

I’m just hoping this will be considered. But it’d sure be nice to see a spin-off campaign where all the official civilizations come across their known heroes and band together against a great threat. I mean all the different heroes and in gradual way.
