Its ready to be used in hotseats, at least for the few first ones, I would say. The bugs are almost fully related to scripts/units/battles etc which is not what matters to us in a hotseat much.
Only some small changes to descr_strat, and a lot of changes to the scripts needs to be done, which I can do. Tho, as the recruitment is heavily scripted, I should check whether those scripts actually are hotseat compatible. If they werent we would have to make a patch, as a lot of things in recruitment would have to be changed....
