How co-op works
Two players tackle selected historical battles and 33 missions from six campaigns, each commanding a separate civilization against AI adapted for two opponents. Partners divide economy, production, scouting, defense, and attack timing while pursuing the same scripted objective; regular skirmish and competitive multiplayer are separate.
