What if the oil resource and template sharing are locked teams-only?

And template sharing would allow both sides to use bodies or weapons they haven't researched yet.

An idea I like better is a shared research pool, a.k.a. whatever techs one player has researched, apply to the other player as well.

Especially the Void between the ears of people who think that No VTOL is a good idea, and won't lead to arty wars. I've won one, and I have to say: I hated it.

What do you mean by "oil resource sharing"?

Template sharing is unnecessary - just design your own copy of the template if you want one.

Vision and research sharing is currently autoshared in locked-teams.

That's unnecessary, considering in Locked Teams mode, if one side has bodies/weapons researched, then so does the other.

...this is what currently happens in Locked Teams.

The coding would be, if it aint a "Lock-Team" Based, it would be grayed out, which means it would have to be a lock-team only, and as i said before, sharing Vehicle designs would be a good strategy, some people might not like to research, and rather build tanks, they wont know whats researched, which means it will take them a while to find what they are looking for, with shared templates, everyone can share tank designs, BUT, i didn't mean as in Auto, but as in lock teams only, so say for instance, sending a supply of power, or handing over some units Via F5 "Or the Num. pad enter key OR! holding down the laptops "FN" key and pressing Enter", a new icon could be "Send vehicular templates to ally" and ta-da, easy peasy, lemon squizy they have shared the players templates ^_^

I'm afraid I still don't see what the point of sharing templates is.
