Human to AI attack plans

[T-Money]

Although I know the idea would probably be too much for the AI to handle, I'd like to see this:

I you make a military alliance with civ A against civ B, I think it would be interesting if you could call up civ A on the diplomacy screen and co-ordinate an attack with them. Like, say, you could tell them to come out of the mountains on one side of a city while your forces give them cannon bombardment and defensive units to hold the city. Just an idea I had while destroying somebody

 

[K.F. Huszár]

I absolutely agree. There was a kind of military cooperation in Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri, where you could adjust your plans with your ally like this: "I attack city X while your forces attack city Y" - but we need much more wide-scaled "joint operations".

Also, if you have an alliance with someon shouldn't you be able to station troops in their cities and share squares with them?
The only part I did not like about SMAC was that the AI never showed up. Otherwise it was a great idea that just needs to be expanded.

I like the idea that you present but I dont think AI currently has the ability to perform it correctly now. If they could, I'm for it 100%. Of course, the AI would not always do what they say they will.

I suspect the AI will not perform as it says it will, but it is a good idea. It would also make an ally a real ally, as opposed to someone who is at war with your enemy. It would be good to trade intelligence etc... with them, but again, it may not be possible. Still, a good idea.

i concur, good idea, it would make mpp and battles much more interesting.
