Hotseat Launcher - SS 6.2 RC4 XML
This file will allow the Hotseat Launcher to run Stainless Steel games in LAN!

EDIT: Basically, you can play with another person at the same time or at your leisure. Or someone else can pick up another player's turn. No need to send emails or have attachments or post up saves, just play nearly simultaneously without having to do much.

These should already be installed:

MTWII + Kingdoms 1.05
Stainless Steel 6.2 RC4 w/ all fixes (I only tested with this one)
Hotseat Launcher
A Network already Set Up.

Comments:
I used this across Hamachi with 3 players from different states, and it has worked for me. All the factions listed in the hotseat launcher xml are not all available in SS vanilla Hotseat, and so my xml allows you to play MORE!

Factions Unplayable: Mongols/Jerusalem/Papal States/Slaves (Rebels)

Installation:
1. Download "Stainless Steel.xml"
2. Move the file to your "Medieval II Total War\tools\hotseat launcher\Data\Mods" folder.
3. Play!

I have successfully played the better part of a campaign as Portugal, with my friends as Genoa, Aragon, and Sicily.

France is at war with England and Castille. England is at war with France, Ireland, and Scotland. Castille is at war with Moors and France.

Our 4 way (yeah, super gay) alliance is at war with the Moors and expect to destroy either France or the Moors at the relative same time (We have taken land from the Moors who have been taking it from Castille, who we are allied with and who we broke an alliance with France for)
