Vanya has read through a number of posts, and recalls something about a playa being able to relegate part of His army to an AI subordinate during the 3D tactical battle itself.
Vanya then thinks... can this be done in MP battles as well?
FOR EXAMPLE...
Say youz join a $50000 game. Youz can fill up your standard slots and go be happy. But, can youz say, let me get a subordinate to boot, and thus fill TWO army arrays up, and have an AI "ally" play your second army with youz able to give it directions like "take hill" or "cut heads off" ?
This would be interesting. Though, naturally, it begs the question as to how effective the whole "Oops, game has diverged on different machines" situation will be in RTW. It would be more like "Oops, my copy of your AI general turned right, but yours went the OTHER right... Doofus GAH"
Would be funny though... leading TWO of your own armies out into MP battle. Would sure add more muscle to the quality vs quantity debate here, as the "quantity" would no longer be limited by army slots or live on only in low koku games.
