Hey guys,
Hotseats aren't doing well, and the ones that do invariably use a Fantasy mod. I think that's a real pity, because more recent Total War games simply don't offer a comparable campaign multiplayer experience.
To get to the point: Are there people here who'd be interested in a hotseat with a historical setting? My personal preference is to have some roleplay elements, such as mini-AARs and diplomacy (either centralized or through each faction's "court" thread), but this aspect could be made facultative.
The mod choice heavily depends on the number of players, however, something along the lines of Tsardoms or Broken Crescent would be amazing IMHO.
