You can play Allied, it works, and we've done so when we have a 5th wheel :P

Trick is, you're gonna see an umarked/mismarked button on your bar... That's how Artig0 gives the AI the ability to have their horde... you click it, you get a bunch of free units, on a timer. I am not sure if you get better units each time or if it depends on the game timer when you click that button, but it'll eventually be bringing in multiple heavies at once.

When I played against 4 of my friends (3 of whom knew very much what they were doing) there was a lottttttttttt of smack talked in the early game... they pushed me and the AI back to our base a couple times, but we held out... and then the smack talk started to die down. When the AI and I were actively roflstomping THEIR base, I went ahead and surrendered because I try to be a nice guy from time to time (The AI all surrender when you do on their team)... but the moral of the story is that putting that kind of power in the hands of a player is gonna be ROUGH to fight against...

Playing against the AI AS Allied, same thing, if you micro your units there's no way they can keep up with your influx of free equipment.

Player is easily worth 2 AI, maybe even 2.5 if they're playing Soviet because of their nasty insane tank callin ability.
