what are everyone's thoughts on it?

What is it?

Well I've tried the Hotseat Mod if thats what you are referring to, the big problem being that the AI interferes in defensive battles making it virtually impossible to play them.

Other than that it worked fine, and I am hoping we will eventually see an official mod which will allow us to play the entire game in Hotseat mode.

I thought the new patch fully enabled this function.

I thought the new patch fully enabled this function.

Funnily enough I just read that in the 1.2 Official patch notes and came back to add a note to my previous post.

Haven't downloaded 1.2 yet, but would be interested to hear if anyone has tried it.

Just read it again and I get the impression that Hotseat is not fully implemented but can be accessed via the command line. Hopefully, the release notes will explain how to do this as I've never used the command line feature before.

Ok! installed 1.2. Hotseat definately does not appear on the Multi-player menu (still only LAN/ONLINE) so I need to find out how to invoke a hotseat game using the command line. Anyone actually tried this yet?

I think ~ usually traditionally brings up the command console, but I have no idea what one types to activate HotSeat.

This is a feature I am really looking forward too, so I hope it is accessible in some fashion in this patch!
