This question seemed appropriate for the current line of responses regarding what is required in an army.

I have never played MP. When one designs an army and is playing with allies, can one coordinate with the allies to get troops best for each faction? In other words, is it possible to have your Engish faction ally concentrate on arbalesters/longbows and billmen while one playing as the Turks concentrates on JHI and JI? Or is everyone expected to make a stand-alone army?

Thanks,
