I wanted to ask about Papal States but always i forgot it,can be palyed at singleplayer??I remember that in vanilla you can somehow to activate it....

[bɑne]

Easiest way for singleplayer is as I described. Start a hotseat campaign as say Venice. Open the console. Type "control papal_states". Enter. Type "control venice". Enter. And there you go.

What if you make the papalstates playable by the descr_strat?

What if you make the papalstates playable by the descr_strat?

i believe it eliminates elections tho.

i believe it eliminates elections tho.

I dont think it does. One thing is sure, it destroys the gameplay and is way to easy. Every faction you attack is excommunicated. I must admit I only played a couple of turns and didnt get as far for an election.

Has been done before without problems

[Heskey]

Oh cool so you could hotseat multiple factions sooooo you could like, make a European block alliance as like HRE and France or something? Or make Great Britain with England and Scotland? =D

[bɑne]

Yeah that is why I prefer to play hotseat singleplayer myself. Once you get too powerful and / or the faction gets a bit boring you can just switch factions.

[k/t]

Omfg, really???

I'm gonna try this. It's gonna be hard to let go of my empire once I build it up, but if I use a faction I've already played, it shouldn't be too bad.

Or I could control two factions and they could help each other!

Ah, this game still has a decade left in it for me. Worth the 50 bucks.

Hotseat-singleplayer??First time i heard that you can play hotseat alone...The first try of hotseat was at LoTR:TW(Rome Total War mod) but it stuck when i was pressing next turn.....

[bɑne]

Of course you can play alone. You can start a hotseat with only one human faction or with 20 and play all of them yourself.

Where i can enable hotseat?

don't forget to use this command in your medeval preference file. otherwise you cant fight defensive battles



[multiplayer]
playable = true

[hotseat]
autoresolve_battles = 0
disable_console = 0
disable_papal_elections = 0
save_prefs = 1
update_ai_camera = 1
validate_diplomacy = 1
turns = false
scroll = false

[hotseat]
autoresolve_battles = 0
disable_console = 0

save_prefs = 1
update_ai_camera = 1
validate_diplomacy = 1
turns = false
scroll = false

Are you supposed to copy this into a medieval preference file?
Also does it affect anything else except making defensive battles possible in singleplayer hotseat?

[Constantine XII]

Thank you, about your tip

[Constantine XII]

I tried to enable hotseat but nothing happened.I took Genoa and after i typed at console control papal_states but nothing.What can i do?

Also in my medieval2 preference there wasnt any of these things:

[multiplayer]
playable = true

turns = false
scroll = false

copy over the multiplayer section, should work fine

also @ nexus, i think it also has a side effect, i think it has to do with message popups? but its not gamebreaking whatever it is, i think it just minimizes them, but its been soo long since i did hotseat i cant remember for shure.

i can assure you it wont affect your game tho.
