Hotseat

THE most important question for me and my wife, and by proxy, our wider gaming group.

We play on the go, so we only purchase strat games where we can co-op or head-to-head on one shared laptop. Medieval: Total War, Civilization, Heroes of M&M and Panzer General/Corps series remain all-time favourites. (Time of Fury's fine, too, even for a group of players.)

We practically play everything together, hence our disappointment recently with Commander: Great War, where the lack of a native, fiddle-free hotseat option was not delivered with a game that would totally lend itself as a digital board game (even for plenty of players, just divvying up the countries).

IF there's hotseat, I'm getting this. If not, I'll pass.

Hello M2EU
Sanctus Reach will include hotseat on a single computer so hopefully it will find its way into your gaming library!

Good news on Hotseat. I think I may have to hook up my PC to the TV for some epic sofa based battles.

Wait, are we getting hotseat in skirmish or are we getting that thing you call hotseat in multiplayer? Make sure you have a cover screen/wait screen so as not to mess up Fog of War between hotseat handoffs!

It uses the MP server for hotseat. Offline hotseat is on our wishlist, but no timeline.

Cheers
