Is there a mod to enable hotseat, or is it just a matter of editing and uploading saved files?

There`s a script that allows hotseats, yet you need to:
Autocalc player vs player battles and wait while every faction makes its turn, which may take more than a day.

But why there are not enough RTW hotseats is a mystery. I once throught to make a rome-only player hotseat, but then noticed in the script "Please do not edit this script." It`s FACEPALM.

Do you know where I can find the script?

The script is in the .org forums but it is a lil old so you'll have to look. In regards to the number of RTW hotseats we have some going around here: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=848
You are welcome to join the BI one, and if we get enough players we can open another hotseat. A reason why there is not so many is because there is also no way to prevent people from cheating, we would have to trust each other.

The hotseat script in your link seems to be specific to the particular human factions being used in a particular game.

That is how the script works, because RTW was never intended for hotseat by CA, but thanks to Mithradel we can.

Too bad no one has come up with something like the retrofit mod in M2TW. It would be nice to play RTW both by email and hotseat on a single pc.

You can as I said earlier but you need the script and a way to activate it in game. Here is an example: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=295938
