[Questions and Help] The Multiplayer/Hotseat Help & Discussion Thread

[chriskourou]

thanks mate.. this works for everything then? I mean, custom battles AND campaign?

[Emperor of Hell]

Campaign? You can't play campaign that way. You need to start a hotseat campaing and then send your friend the save after you've done your turn.

[chriskourou]

so... the way to play campaign is... ? ? ?

[Emperor of Hell]

Go to multiplayer --> Hotseat campaign. Select the factions and options you want. Play your faction's turn, save, and then send the save to your friend (email, usb, dropbox, whatever) and he takes his turn. Then he saves his and sends it back to you so you can take your second turn.

[chriskourou]

aha... this is tricky ... and we can both play in 2 good faction against "the computer" ? Sorry, I'm completely irrelevant

[Emperor of Hell]

Yes

[chriskourou]

hm I will try it.. Thanks a lot

[knicolas2]

hey i am just playing a mini hs with a friend and .. is it possible to make one of the ai controlled factions to a human controlled faction?
for example gondor is computer.. how to make it possible within the hotseat to play as human?

[Emperor of Hell]

Have you set an admin? Then it might be possible, not sure, check this thread: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=130556

If you haven't, not possible at all

[knicolas2]

but thank you

Impossible to sign in in game spy. I register and then it says my password is invalid. Any ideas? I saw than many face the same problem

[StealthFox]

Yeah, I think it must be a gamespy problem. Another user had a thread about it here. He never did say if he got it fixed though.

[chriskourou]

Hmm I think that it is a gamespy problem like u said. Bug maybe, cause then I went into TATW and to multiplayer and said sth about invalid key number... Which I also saw it's a big issue too...

[StealthFox]

Oh, it also said something about invalid key? Well that's a different problem. Either you have actually entered an invalid key number or you're playing with an... illegal copy.

[chriskourou]

But this is the only way you can have tatw...

[StealthFox]

Hmm, I have a feeling there may be some confusion between us. TATW works on regular legal copies of M2TW.

[chriskourou]

So the problem is that I downloaded M2?

[Emperor of Hell]

Yes

[chriskourou]

Needless to ask for any other solution. I just have to buy it

[Emperor of Hell]

Yes, it is not really expensive either. You can find the gold edition (Which includes M2TW + Kingdoms) for about $5.
