I recently started playing multiplayer with my son, more specifically coop games.
I'm not sure "coop" is a familiar term in Civ, it is used in shooters for humans organized in teams against other teams, controlled by AI. So basically you need to cooperate against AI.
However, things don't look so easy to setup. We tried standard map, 4 teams of 2 players each, we are 1 team against 3 other AI teams.
We easily won on Prince first game but that's not the point.
There are some difficulties: science is cumulated for team so we obviously would advance quicklier if research the same tech but sometimes he wants to play cultural and I find myself attacked by an AI neighbourn so I would like to research iron working for example, not culture techs etc. Also, the wonders can only be contructed by one of us, not both. Or maybe he plays Mongols and wants keshiks quickly but I preffer iron and so on. Culture is even more difficult to play as team becaused is based on wonders and not cumulated as team but individual instead so I assume it is impossible for both coop players to play cultural in same time.
I am sure there are a lot of people on this forum who play duel 2 versus 2, some even "proffesionally" in leagues etc.
Can you offer some advice, how do you coordinate with partner, maybe same strategy, both science/domination? How do you "negociate" research priorities?
Which kind of setup/map it is most suited for coops of 2 people?
Thanks for your help.
