Multiplayer Hot Seat in MTWII?

**Rags** · March 08, 2009, 08:16 AM

Ok so I have had the original MTWII for a while then I got kingdoms and had some fun with hotseat campain. But we were upset because we couldn't do it in the grand campain. I was reading the booklet the other night for Kingdoms and it said that hotseat campains was available for the Grand Campain. I went and checked and under multiplayer hotseat wasn't available. I was wondering if it was a file I lost when I uploaded the game if so if I could somehow get that file be great. Or if it really isn't available. But I doubt that they would not put in a hotseat for the grand campain. I mean really...think about it so many fun factions to play and we could only play some of them or new ones over several diffrent campains. I mean who wants to play as a 15+ land whoring england right off the bat?

Take a look at this link and tell me which part of it you are missing.

EDIT: Actually if you're playing kingdoms you're playing one of the 4 campaigns so there is no grand campaign in the regard. But you still should be able to play MII's grand campaign patched to 1.4 which comes from installing Kingdoms. It just will not include the new factions because they are tied to a different map.

What you can do is to make your Kingdoms campaigns a little bigger, is enable the non playable factions for each mini campaign, i.e. Americas, Teutons etc, etc...
