Some Hotseat Campaign Questions

[diez]

Hi TWC community,
me and my cousin are to start a hotseat campaign on kingdoms,so i have some question about them.
first the battles are all auto resolved or only vs human player.or when u play vs the human,u play vs his army commanded by the ai?
2nd is it possible to play via sending the save file to each other once we complete our moves/turns??

i hope i didnt confuse u too with the 1st question,thanks for possible answers

I would say to keep things fair you must autoresolve against each other. It is up to you what rules you want to put in place regarding human vs AI battles, I would personally go for autocalc only.

Yes, it is possible to do that, if you check the M2TW resources you can find programs to do just that, as well as hotseat launchers which do everything automatically.

If you are to use autocalc only I would personally recommend Italian factions as the large size and good stats of Italian Spear Militia make them a very powerful autocalc unit at the start of the game. Additionally Islamic factions are very good as you can call a jihad on your opponent on the first turn and grind him into the dust.

ok thanks for the advice!
i ll auto calc only and let him do battles normally to give him an advantage cause he is generaly new to game.

Do not autocalc sieges when you are attacking, you sometimes take ridiculously small casualties. To give him an advantage only autocalc in the open field battles, siege defence and obviously in human vs human battles.
