Check if you can select multiple factions (click on another shield) on the faction selection screen.
Also copy this into your config (overwriting what's there):

[hotseat]
autoresolve_battles = 0
disable_console = 0
disable_papal_elections = 0
save_prefs = 0
update_ai_camera = 1
validate_diplomacy = 1
