RS2.5 Hotseat Campaign
I've made this new thread so we can have a clean start.
Here are the installation & playing instructions again:

And here are the installation & playing instructions:
First, unzip the folder and copy it into your main RS folder - the folder where you can see all the "play_XXX" - folders:
Then start your launcher. Go to the menu where you can select another faction - and there to "Battles and Multiplayer".
Write "Hotseat" in the white field, then press on "Enter Submod Name then save here".
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
Press ok afterwards, then start RS2. Maybe you also need to click on "Select a faction" afterwards - a few options will pop up, and you have to click on "Hotseat".
Once you got a save, copy it into data/hotseat/saves.
Load it. You should have full control of your faction, like when you normally start a campaign.
Important: Don't forget to activate the script - you can activate it by selecting a settlement of yours.
Play your turn, and then press the "end turn" button. You should see this now:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
Just save now manually again, then quit the game and upload your save. The next player repeats this process.
Also: There are no client state/Occupy/Citizenship buildings. This is intentional, for non-romans they are quite useless anyway (if available at all).
Feel free to ask your questions away.

Arverni - Sadlogic
Scythia - Dean Martin

...
So, what does that mean? Quite easy:
I started the campaign, and uploaded my save. Now we check who comes next - sadlogic, playing the arverni. He will download the save, and play his turn.
No one else does anything! Once he finished his turn, he will upload his save - and again we check who comes next; Dean Martin now, playing Scythia. He will play his turn, and again no one else does anything!
He uploads his save, we check who's next ...
The list was determined by ingame-factors, so don't blame me ...
Important: I kinda forgot to include the Scythians in the backgroundscript.Everyone of you has to download the following file, and put it in: (Your RS folder)/Hotseat/data/scripts/show_me
You have to replace the old file, otherwise it won't work!
Also remember the rules:
- No cheating!
- No reloading your turn.
- There is a time limit of 24-hours - You have to play your turn & upload the save before the time runs out; otherwise the AI will play your turn. If you know you are unable to play, you can name someone to play for you.
- You have to autoresolve every battle against a Human, and post a screen of the battle results. You are free to play a battle against the AI on the battlefield, though.
I have attached my save to my post. It is for sadlogic, because the next turn is his (see above).
Note that I attached a zip-archive. This is because TWC doesn't accept .sav files. To unzip it, you need the freeware 7-zip. If you don't want to pack and unpack your saves every time, you can just upload your save somewhere else - like Mediafire.
Also a clarification on the taxes: You may notice that the AI will change the taxes in your cities. But this is no problem - Taxes are paid when you end the turn; and at this point, the AI hasn't yet changed them. You probably have to set the taxes in every settlement anew, but at least you get the correct amount of money.
I hope I didn't forget anything. Oh, I did:
Good luck to everyone. Hopefully we have a bug-free campaign and lots of fun.
IMPORTANT: Do not luck at other saves. That, too, is considered cheating!
