EMPIRES OF THE EAST
This is a free for all hotseat using the Broken Crescent M2TW modification, version 2.3.2 (installation instructions below). This will be a lead battles game, meaning one may lead versus enemy (AI or human lead) armies if given the chance, or autoresolve at their own discretion. Sallies from the AI versus human besieging armies are automatically autoresolved.
For those unfamiliar with hotseats or who have not played lead battles, you should consult the comprehensive guide to hotseat play and especially the lead battles section.
Victory conditions: Be the last human player in the game or force the submission of the remaining players. If campaign victory is achieved but a player remains adamant to continue fighting you must oblige and carry on with the war. An allied victory is possible only for two factions maximum, and only if they remain the last two factions on the map or all other factions concede defeat to that alliance.

How to set up your game:
1. Install the mod. From this thread: Get file 1 and then file 2. Install.
2. Install the patch and the quickfix from this thread. Rund them as administartor (detailed instructions in the thread).
3. After you have done steps 1 and 2, download this archive and unpack it in your main folder for the mod. Overwrite when asked to do so. (If you want, back up your original mod files). This archive (provided by @LooseCannon1) changes the game so forts can be constructed - a paramount feature for a successful lead battles game.
If you are new to the mod (like me) or version 2.3 it is advisable to read this and this thread.
