Humans vs. AI multiplayer setup?

I want to play with a friend allied against a bunch of AI-controlled pretenders - is it possible to set the game up so it will recognize our victory when (if) we kill them all?

No sorry. But the only thing you wont get is a victory screen. The scoreboard will show when you 2 are the Last ones in the game so you will still know when you have won.

I like those kindof games too. Im working on a couple of maps which will be designed for making alliances an absolute necessity.

that's a shame - I wonder if preset alliances might be a feature that could be patched in...

Need a feature request: #victorycondition (no AI nations left alive)

Actually they are in but at the moment they only work as ways to have the AIs allied while designing a map. Even then they only keep the AIs from attacking each other and Im not sure I would want that to be game enforced.

I understand that Gandalf (and possibly others?) have created maps that allow players to team up against the A.I. Where can I find these? I would like to play such a game to give myself and three other newbie players a chance to learn the basics. Thanks! Merry
