Hotseat/AI questions.

[Cirein]

Greetings.

In what ways is the AI treated differently in DLV? I believe in hotseat the players beyond the first are subject to AI rules. Is that so? The begin with obscene amounts of troops and resources, which is simple enough to deal with with an honest group. However, I am wondering if those players will recieve extra money as "AI's" or if they are subject to field costs, etc.

Furthermore...do they use seperate government and military points? In previous versions this was, I believe, a "no" but I can always dream. ^^;

As such, when beginning, which options should be on/off for the fairest possible game?

Also...we have been adding additional players with the console, because the game crashes if you select too many. Is there a way to get around this? The turn order is not altered if you add a player by console, and I suspect and special treatment the hotseat player would have gotten are lost. *shrugs*

Basically players beyond the first are going to get extra money. I don't know which features the AI is subject to or not...Nor am I sure if turning off the now optional scripts for the first player evens the playing field.

I think it's the case that the scripts that make DLV so good single player make it less than ideal for hotseat.

I heard that desert tribes got less scrips then other factions- Try to host a Hotseat campaign as Desert tribes, let other join as what ever faction and se what happens
