Multiplayer champaign is here, now!

I managed to get hotseat working in 1.1 patch.
Put these settings to medieval2.preference file.

[multiplayer]
playable = true
hotseat_turns = true
hotseat_scroll = true
hotseat_update_ai_camera = false
hotseat_disable_papal_elections = false
hotseat_autoresolve_battles = false
hotseat_save_prefs = true
hotseat_disable_console = false
hotseat_validate_diplomacy = true
- not sure if needed, trues and falses how u like. I deleted those () marks, cause my friend had broblem whit those.

Also it seems to change settings back to original after launching game. You might need to change them to normal after each time.
[EDIT:] Checked this, they must be set back to edited, not sure if you load.

Have nice playing

So you'll take over all factions in the game?

No, just ones you select.

[Siddyus]

So, lets say me and a friend wants to play a hotseat campaign... can we play in turns using the factions we selected? Also, how can we set the factions we want to control?

Yes, you can play like that.
They are selected like in Orginal single player version, you click at symbol of your faction, and it is selected, but if you click another faction, it symbol still keeps glowing. Glowing symbols are selected ones. Second click stors it from glowing.

Ah! I get it now. I will now try this. Strange that this discovery of your didnt attract many users viewing this section of the forum.

How do the turns work?

[Pjoo]

How do the turns work?

Like normal, human player 1 takes turn, human player 2 takes turn, ai takes turns. Turn order is same as symbols in menu where you decide players.

[Jimexander the Mighty]

So do you like sit there and see the campaign unfold like singleplayer? or do you like send emails or something back and forth?

You have to send emails(or something) if you want to play in net.

just a question.. When human player 1 has an hour long battle with the Ai what is human player 2 watching on his screen?? an idle screen or sees the battle?

He said it was hotseat....that means he's sitting next to you drinking a beer heckling you.

No, he will be surfing at net or something. You have to play your turn, save, and send your file to your friend.
Or if your friend and you are playing at same computer, then he sees that all

Probabaly because its not that big of a deal. I also allready knew about this...

Good find, some of us like to play alone though.

[Destraex]

how are the battles worked out??

[Destraex]

I have about 4 peeps I regularly see that love this and it would be perfect to take a campaign up with them over a year or so......
But we must be allowed to battle each other like multiplayer 1v1 when our factions fight

[Preskinn]

What does validate Diplomacy do?

I bet they are autoresolved.

You can chose to have the AI controll the defender or to autoresolve

[Pjoo]

What does validate Diplomacy do?

Player that is offered somekind of deal has to accept or decline that offer, maybe? Have not had much time to test this out, 1st turn going

You can chose to have the AI controll the defender or to autoresolve

ok
