here is an idea..

you know when you watch a replay and your thinking.. hey wouldnt it be cool if i could join this fight back from the start as a new player and then play the same battle..

well...

would it be possible to play vs yourself in and endless ffa? that you keep spawning as a new com.. and the engine disregards orders for units that dont exist because you killed them? ie. a desynced game..

sort of like when you race vs ghosts on racing games.

so:

game 1 you send 100 fleas..
game 2 you kill the 100 fleas and the game then disregards all future orders for those fleas to move..

i think maybe the engine would need a rework?

You want this essentially:



It would be very cool if you could play the unlinking parts, but there's only 1 person and they can't do multiple things at the same time. As for recoilrts, I think the unit orders start getting wonkey on desync, like if you add new units the replay simulation is not expecting, future orders for units that have not been interrupted might get broken anyway, as well as all new units out of factories after the descync even if they are 'uninterrupted'.

yes huge numbers of orders would need to be ignored

it could get confusing lol

after joining 20 times you might have to rember things like oh yeah i nuke north at min 20 so i need anti

you can take control while watching a replay doing some command wizardy I witnessed Goog do once, but yes it will ofc break in the expected way

whhhat! how can i do this??.. i want to make a 20 player null ai game and replay it 20 times each time ill take a new comander =D

it works.. this is possible.. im now going to play a 4 vs 4 of myself and see who wins.

ill post the replay here

hmm it didnt quite work.. using cheats then playing a game winning then disable cheats to make a replay..
but then in the replay when i took the oposite team it started being really strange.. i think this will only work using human players and not ai.. as when i took the ai players they tried to play while i was playing.. and my opponent me.. didnt use the factory once i took control of the other team.

but the issue that sinks the whole ship is that replays dont create replays even when you win them again
