While this doesn't seem like one would have many of the benefits of multiple resource pools and player differentiation, this does indeed sound like it would be a great way for some kind of mentor to piggyback onto a newb's game (with permission, of course) and monitor his actions whilst giving a complete walkthrough. I support this.

This is essentially complete, though a bit tricky to find. Start the game with one player, then enter the player management menu and add any other players you want with "Mode: Helper".

I think you can even declare helpers in the lobby.

Note that you need to enable the CTRLS flag 'allow ally control of units' (or whatever it's called)
