    Default change factions in the middle of the campaign

    sorry for the trouble, but I was wondering if anyone remembers the cheat you type in to switch factions, you open the Medieval shell with '~' and then type it, but I forget the cheat and can't find it here :(

    You may wish to check out this thread. It lists what you need to do to enable hotseat in M2TW.

    After you've verified you are set up you should be able to change your faction with the command shell.

    yeah, but doing that should allow you to switch factions. How else could you play 2 factions at one PC? (Hotseat)

    where am I supposed to paste:
    [multiplayer]
    playable = true
    hotseat_turns = true
    hotseat_scroll = false
    hotseat_autoresolve_battles = 0
    hotseat_disable_console = 0
    hotseat_disable_papal_elections = 0
    hotseat_save_prefs = 0
    hotseat_update_ai_camera = 0
    hotseat_validate_diplomacy = 1
    exactly in the preference file?

    My bad,
    control <Faction>
    is what you are looking for. I don't have a list of the internal faction names, but I think there is on this site some where.

    I did all the instructions, and when I click the hotseat thing, it flashes a black window and closes instantly
    OMG it's war!

    Can you please post the full path to where you installed Medieval II total War? If you do, I can change what the text in the batch file is to match your real path.

    I am also assuming you are running it from the directory where your copy of Medieval II is installed. If it is not being run from that directory then you would get the black screen (DOS window) popping up quickly like that.
