Playing Both Allies

[Ed Robinson]

Is it possible when playing a game with allies to control both? I enjoy playing the larger custom maps and I enjoy playing with allies. The problems arise when they are near each other, an example being a map called "Mythical Places". By the way I'm not picking on this map it was the last one I completed.

I selected Sylvan as my starting faction and I selected Haven, with Godric, as my partner. Godric immediately entered my portion of the starting area and flagged a number of the Sylvan creature generators including the Military Outpost. This was dumb as he was eventually stomped with a mixed force.

He also pissed me off when I fought a neutral stack guarding a mine but didn't have enough movement to flag it. While I was forced to rest, he snuck in and flagged it.

This smacked more of the US and France than say the US and Australia or Great Britain.

So the original question, is it possible, using one of the excellent MODS available, to take control of both allies?

Maybe you should try to play hot seat?
