TRUE HOTSEAT: Modding out the AI controlled reinforcements

Ok, here's the deal.

A player at the twcenter discovered how to play defensive battles against the AI in hotseat.

Nontheless, during these battles the AI controls your own troops as reinforcements, overwriting all your commands with others of its own...

Before the battle it does not give you the option to ucheck the box with the "AI control", neither from your main force or from your real reinforcements...

Is there a way to disable this, either by:
- Disabeling AI controlled reinforcements all together
- Having a console command to control those troops
- Any other way at all

We are very, very close to having a playable hotseat campaign...



By the way, here are the settings of the preferences file modified in order to play the battles, although atm I should say, "watch the battles"


[multiplayer]
playable = 1
hotseat_turns = 0
hotseat_scroll = 0
hotseat_update_ai_camera = 1
hotseat_disable_papal_elections = 0
hotseat_autoresolve_battles = 0
hotseat_save_prefs = 1
hotseat_disable_console = 0
hotseat_validate_diplomacy = 1


Good luck

I personally use this:

[multiplayer]
playable = true
hotseat_turns = true
hotseat_scroll = false
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

and it seems to work fine - maybe I didn't had the chance to fully test it ...
