Hotseat Playable factions solution.

**Sidmen** · January 01, 2008, 12:15 AM

Hi, sorry if this was already solved, and sorry for the new thread, but I've figured out how to make the Norwegians playable in Hotseat.

It seems that the Hotseat campaign won't allow that many factions to be selectable, so removing some (that you don't intend to play) will allow the others to be selectable.

In my case, switching Poland and Hungary from playable to unplayable unlocked the Teutonic Knights and Norway.

Nice work mate.
I'm guessing that the changes are made in the "descr_strat" file?

PS. Thanks

Wich descr_strat.txt would that be then could only find two in the SS map?

Strange cant get Teutonic Order to work, even though they are in the list to be playable. Norway and others I added works just fine but when trying with Teutonic order it doesent owrk?

HOTSEAT is for EARLY campaign, TEUTONS are for LATE, it is as if you're trying to play Mongols/Timurids!

Oh its that easy? hehe well thank you

I hope the late campaign will be playable in future hotseatmods then, well well thanks again.

I'm assuming it wouldn't be all too hard to get the late campaign to work in hotseat. Essentially (I may be mistaken) all you'd have to do is copy the descr_strat and a few other files (scripts perhaps) into the early campaign's folder. I haven't tested this, so might be wrong, but all that needs to be changed is the starting positions, which would be the Descr_strat's job.
