Interactions between offline forces and AI enemies

Post by Tsirist »

I'm new to the game (as are my friends) and we just finished our first co-op playthrough! I'm interested in setting up a headless server and playing with multiple player forces now, but we enjoyed having AI expansion turned on and I'm concerned about how this will impact player forces that have no online players.

For example, let's say force A and force B establish factories far, far apart from each other. They're online at the same time at first and clear out their respective areas and build bases that begin to attract aggression. Now, let's say force B's players all log off and force A continues to play for several hours. During that time, will the AI enemies continue to attack force B's factory? If so, is the only way to address this issue to disable expansion or enable the AI peaceful mode?

A small additional question: is there any way to create/manage forces without disabling achievements?
