Teaming with A.I. in multiplayer

Postby TazzyUK » 29 Nov 2014, 07:18

Hiya all
I wanted to ask why, when in an online multiplayer game, that if you choose to team up with A.I. against your human opponent, who also is allied with an A.I. that all the players are visible at the start and throughout the game?
Is it a bug?
So If I start with the A.I.Sorian ally with me and make us both team 1 and my opponent also does the same and they set themselves to team 2, when we start and the commanders spawns, I can see both my opponents and what their doing
Tried setting us as no team ('-') and them as team 1 and still same issue. Tried all the numbers, changing the auto teaming (left vs right, top vs bottom etc), manual select, none etc yet the issue still arises.

If i set the A.I. as opponents and not teamed up, whether its a 4 player game, 3 player game etc (2 human vs 2 A.I. etc) then the issue doesn't happen and no one can see each other.
I've tried playing with the random spawn (even though its not really related), auto teams etc but cant solve it. Is there an obvious reason why this is happening?
Also is there any way to save the unit manager settings like you can in mod manager? as they go back to default each time (none set)

Because you have AIx in your team (i guess)
AIx = "cheating" AI
it has 2x build speed and 2x resources AND full map vision
so obviosly if your ally can see whole map, you get it too

i think lobby atm has some new AI settings including disabling or enabling that feature of AIx

That looks like the problem, Thanks 'ZLO_RD'. I set up a game with me and A.I.Sorian as allies against A.I.x Sorian and the only player i could see was my ally A.I...not the enemy A.I.x
Thanks
I'll to see if I can just disable the full map vision in the lobby etc
