The-Hotseat-Mod Beta

This Mod lets you play Campaigns with friends, online or offline on the same PC.

The Hotseat-Mod Beta combines the Online-Hotseat with the Simple-Hotseat.
It makes it very easy to choose any number of Players and any faction in the Game.


Choose your Gamemode:

You can choose between two main game modes now, the Online and the Offline Version of this mod.

1. The Online-Hotseat
In the Online Mode the game will freeze after each turn and will prevent you from seeing your opponents armies and territories. You will need to reload the game to move the camera or to continue to play.
This way you can make your turn, end it and can then save it and send the savefile to the next player.

2. The Offline-Hotseat
Reloading the campaign each turn may be annoying for people who just want to play an offline Hotseat on the same Computer. The Offline-Hotseat Mode will not freeze the game at the end of a turn. You can continue playing without any interruption. You also can choose between two camera options (See below).


Forced Diplomacy:

You can also choose if you want to enable forced diplomacy or to disable it completely if this feature annoys you.
When enabled every time you click on a diplomat (for the first time of the current turn) you will get a message asking you if you want the ai to accept every diplomatic offer you will make for the rest of this turn.
This can be used for arrangements between two human players or just for your own amusement.


Camera Options (only for offline mode)

In the offline mode you can also change the camera behaviour at the end of each turn.
You can choose between one of two options.

1. Singleplayer Mode:
The camera always jumps to the factions capital at the beginning of each turn, for a switch between factions.

2. Player vs Player Mode:
The camera always jumps to the edge of the map at the beginning of each turn, to prevent your opponent from seeing your armies and territories.



How to play?
Simply start the game as the Julii.
At the very beginning of the campaign you will get a notification. Open it and just choose your game mode and which factions you want to play.

(Even tho you start the Campaign as the Julii, you can still choose not to play them its all up to you)



Bugfixes:
-The Mod will now detect if a faction is still alive and will continue working even if multiple factions have died.
-A Bug which caused errors when selecting a certain combination of factions was fixed.
-Forced Diplomacy was added.
-The camera behaviour at end turn is now changeable.
