If game is recruiting or needs a substitute player, simply make a post in here saying so. Similarly, if you want to take part in a new game or are a willing to act as a substitute player, also make a post in here saying so.

Thanks for your interest!

Hi, I just bought my M2TW. I'm interested to play this "hotseat" thing. I am new to "hotseat" so I might need some guidance along the way. My M2TW version is defualt 1.03. How do I go about playing "hotseat" ?

Hi Andy,

"hotseat" campaigns are played very similarily to single-player campagins.

A host will set up the game and decide on rules etc. The first player will play his turn, then save the game, and pass it on to the next player in turn. And so on, and so forth.

A lot of the fun also comes from engaging in diplomacy in the forum, or via pms, or just shouting general insults at one anther (always in-character and within reason, mind).

Your main problem will be that most hotseats are focused on the smaller kingdoms campaign, because those dont require as many players. There are two "grand campaign" hotseats going on currently, which wont require the kingdoms expansion, but as far as i know, both of those are full currently.

we'll keep you in mind thought!

P.S. If you're eager to do something vaguely similar, you could also check out the new KotR (the only subforum of this subforum)

[Askthepizzaguy]

still available to join hotseats or fill in as a sub... but the hotseat I started is full.

Updated my above post...

Greetings, lords and ladies;

The Dark Lord Askthepizzaguy is seeking challengers for One-Versus-One "duel to the death" Long Campaign hotseats.

I've already accepted challenges from Monk, Ichigo, Elite Ferret, Ignoramus, and Grog. However, I finish the turns so quickly that I still have time on my hands waiting for more save files.

I've managed to defeat two so far, and in the rematches and still-active matches I am in very good positions. But if it's not facing me that you fancy, sign up here to challenge others. There is supposed to be a league or tournament between Duelists, but thusfar I'm the most active, and I only know of one duel that doesn't involve me.

If you feel like tackling the AI in a race to conquer the world against a human opponent, or you just want a slow PvP game, then duelling is for you.

Versions I can play:

Vanilla 1.0, 1.3
Broken Crescent Mod 1.5 (with hotfixes)
Lands to Conquer 3.1
Stainless Steel 4.1

I can also host the game so you don't have to edit the files, if you like. Though I don't mind playing a game hosted by someone else.

Because there are only two human players, turns go much quicker (typically) over full hotseat games, and because there are only two players, the strict rules typically found in hotseats no longer apply. There is no 24-48 hour deadline to complete your turns, and being active in a duel takes up so little of your time, because you can play at your leisure.

In order to keep the save files from clogging up the Org's server, it is recommended that sendspace hosts the files or that you play by email (your actual email). Also it's good manners not to clog up other player's PM boxes. Please have a valid email account that you check regularly.

You don't have to have any experience with hotseats or duels to participate. I'd be glad to show any newcomers how it works. I'm on here more than most, so if you have any further questions contact me at askthepizzaguy@yahoo.com.

Bottom line is that we need more players. I'm having a blast fighting 5 people at once, but in order for there to be a tournament or a league everything can't revolve around me, and we need more participants. Here's the link to the Hotseat Tournament: (for Duelists)

I plan on starting a Jousting Guild for those interested in 1v1 contests. It will serve as the host for all the PBM Duelist games that are active, and prevent the Throne Room from filling up with all kinds of duelist threads. Here is the link for the Jousting Guild:

I think the Jousting Guild should be a sub-forum. Moderators, do you agree?

[AndyNgFL]

Can you install "mods" and play "vanilla" at the same time or do yo have to uninstall the "mods" to play "vanilla" again ?

[Askthepizzaguy]

many mods are full mods which stand alone in a seperate folder. Some are patches which affect Vanilla.

BC, LTC, SS, and others are full mods. I'm not sure which ones act like patches, but find out b4 you download.

[Zymran]

Anyone intersted in joining a Das Heilige Romische Reich (DHRR) hotseat campaign, see HERE for details

[Ferret]

Note: the above requires Kingdoms to play.

[silverarmon]

ok my firends i would like very much to play hotseat as it is an new discovery for me.

I suppose any vanilla medieval2 or kingdoms hotseat would be great!

[Merlox]

Hey!, i'm currently looking for hot seat games, Mainly in the mod "Broken Crecent" mod, If any one is thinking about starting one, I am very interested in joining if any one has a current game that they are starting or thinking about starting one! I can also do games that have a time requirement that is 24 hours instead of the 48 hour rule. Thanks!

Check out my latest project: Dread Knights of the Realm

while not a "hotseat" per se, you will be campaigning in Broken Crescent, most likely, with several other players, advancing in rank, and perhaps holding the reins of power... if you can take it.

It should interest you, even if it's not the "hotseat" you're looking for. It may be more challenging, or at least a bucket of fun!

I've played the Britannia Campaign, an SS and a couple of BC campaigns via TWC and would be interested in finding a game via the org. I've noticed some pretty interesting games over here with strong diplomacy via the forums and some very interesting in character updates. I'll be keeping my eye out for a game or two with this in mind :) I'm a player who likes to fight to the bitter end so there's no chance of me dropping out mid game.
