How can I play in this game Hot Seat?

Unfoturnately, no.

I am however trying to figure out a way to do so, but don't get your hopes up.

What's Hot Seat?

It means you and your friends (only limited by the number of factions in game) can play against each other for world dominance in the campaign.

I have tried that. It's just that when you select a second faction in the hotseat mode, the game immediately crashes.

I'm guessing what I recommended here didn't work.

The cfg files has a lot of entries for hotseat mode, so you'll probably need to change these to enable it. There are two options for each setting: 'true' (enable) or 'false' (disable).

Code:

[hotseat]
scroll = false                 ## disable start turn scroll in hotseat campaign
turns = false                 ## disable forced separate human faction turns (including diplomacy) in hotseat campaign
disable_console    = false         ## enable cheat console in hotseat campaign.
admin_password = password         ## specify password for administrator access to the dev console when console disabled. Change 'password' to a suitable password
update_ai_camera = true         ## enable camera updates during ai turn in hotseat campaign
disable_papal_elections    = false     ## enable voting in papal elections in hotseat campaign (only first valid human faction votes)
autoresolve_battles = false         ## disable forced autoresolve all battles in hotseat campaign
validate_diplomacy = false         ## disable diplomacy validation for incoming propositions
save_prefs = true             ## disable forced relevant hotseat options to be saved with game.
autosave = true             ## autosave hotseat game at start of players turn
save_config = true             ## save config file in save dir containing information about next players turn
close_after_save = false         ## close medieval II directly after a hotseat autosave
gamename = hotseat_gamename         ## sub directory name for hotseat save games
validate_data = true             ## ensure game data files used in previous save match current campaign data files.
allow_validation_failures = false     ## prevent game to load if savegame or data validations fail

If you're going to modify this file back it up first.
