    Default How do you enable Hotseat?

    I've tried placing another persons .cfg file and despite all the changes it had on it, none of them worked, it wouldn't let the game start. So I had to revert to the original.

    To be specific I would like to have it similar to Stainless Steel 6.1 hotseat, where if I wished I could choose any # of factions and play them differently on the same computer. Well sometimes my wife likes to join in and I would be pleased to know if this is possible, to play with/against her on the same computer on hotseat. Is it possible? And if so specifically what do I need to change or is there a simple file that I can snag from someone here and insert it into my folder to make it happen? Thank you in advance for any help.

    Just put this above [ui] in your .cfg text file and it should be set.


    [multiplayer]
    playable = true
    hotseat_turns = true
    hotseat_scroll = true
    hotseat_autoresolve_battles = 0
    hotseat_disable_console = 1
    hotseat_disable_papal_elections = 1
    hotseat_save_prefs = 1
    hotseat_update_ai_camera = 0
    hotseat_validate_diplomacy = 1


    [hotseat]
    admin_password =
    turns = true
    scroll = true
    disable_console = true
    disable_papal_elections = true
    validate_diplomacy = true
    autosave = true
    save_prefs = true
    update_ai_camera = true
    save_config = true
    autoresolve_battles = false

    Happy new years,

    Check one of the stickied threads. It was dug in among other threads but I stickied it. I hope it will work for you.

    Where can we find the .cfg?

    EDIT:Ok I got it to work, so now I have multiplayer but I have to access it through the Grand Campaign, is there a way to have the hotseat option in the multiplayer area, rather than me having to go to the Grand Campaign? Because now if I want to play Grand Campaign single player it acts as if its a hotseat game, and its a bit annoying.

    Thanks for your help

    For Broken Crescent hotseat how do you edit the CFG file so you can defend against the AI in battles, not just have them autoresolved?
