How do you think a hypothetical Multiplayer EB campaign would go?

[Titus Marcellus Scato]

True, but you can't do hotseat in EB1. The script can only place homeland/expansion markers for one faction, so the recruitment/MIC system won't work properly with multiple players. So it's all hypothetical anyway.

That is a big problem.

Would be nice if we had a workaround for it. Some sort of application to edit save game files, allowing you to load a save game into it, and change the player faction from the one in the file to your faction, with a simple drop-down menu. This would automatically replace all the homeland/expansion markers in the relevant file with the ones for the faction that you are playing. Then save the files to a savegame folder of your choice, ready to load and play.
