How come I can't do this when it says I can?

Me and my friend want to play hotseat. We can on kingdoms, but I found Kingdoms completely boring for the fact maps were really small. It also says in the booklet that hotseat is available in the grand campaign. But that was a no go since the title hot seat never actually appeared.

You have to edit the .cfg file. Here are some instructions:

If you're running Vista then I'm afraid I can't help (I have never owned Vista, and won't until it works better). Otherwise, my computer should be on the start menu - your medieval 2 directory is probably in C:\program files\SEGA.

I actually tested it by going to mtw folder (just go there, as on vista the 'route' can be different), and go to the medieval2.preference.cfg, put the read only off, and then edit the file to allow multiplayer, save and put read only on.
I did not back up the file but you can do it if you want, i was just testing and after it i changed the files back to normal. Ill just edit them when my friend comes to play hotseat
