Hot Seat Mode issue

[General Shapur]

I've not looked at the option before, but wanted to tinker around with some armies and try out a few scenarios - so apologies if this is a known issue - i did search the forum before posting.

The problem is that I seem to only be able to select units for the primary participant, the second side seems to have units auto selected before the hot seat game starts - can someone direct me to a tab i may have missed here.

Also, other than getting into the editor is there a way to quickly drag 5 or so units onto a map and per position them then start a game from there - just to see how different small scale actions play out.?

Cheers

Hot Seat mode was originally intended for testing scenarios, rather than a game mode in its own right. Hence Hot Seat mode just allows you to play the game the same as it would be in SP mode, but hot seat. This means that in custom battles the side that would normally be the AI side has its troops chosen by the AI as it would in normal SP mode.

However, this is something that we may be able to change in a future update, to allow normal force selection for both sides.
