Granted, this is only an option if your co-op buddy doesn’t have their own army close enough to provide reinforcements mid-battle, in which case each player controls their forces separately.Īs a fan of all things Warhammer, the Total War take on the game has been an adequate substitute for the tabletop experience and even allowed me to play with old buddies once more. Not only does this allow you to better focus on a smaller portion of the battlefield at a time, it also provides you and your co-op buddy with some great chances to really strategize and use the units to their fullest (“ok, I’ll pull the enemies over here with my archers and when they get close, you charge in with that shield squad before hitting them from the side with the cavalry”). For example, maybe you only want to concern yourself with your ranged units, so you give your friend control over the infantry and cavalry squads. When one player gets into combat they can give direct control over some of their units to their co-op buddy, thereby delegating some of the responsibility. If, like me, you get overwhelmed by attempting to manage each of your units while enemy forces charge down on you, then you should bring a friend along to help out. While the big picture campaign may have some interesting quirks, co-op shines when you get into the real-time battles.
