Hotseat gaming

[Snafu]

A throwback to older versions of games similar to this. Other civilization games have hotseat capability, whether by build or by mod. This means I can play with a friend on one PC. Does this game have any thoughts about putting that in the build?

Cant see that working very well since you will be able to see where your partner moves ships at all times....

But worry not welcome to new age of multiplayer ^^

stardock has stated several times that there will never be a hot seat option for this game.

Never is a rather strong word. They stated that if there is enough demand for it they would consider adding it.

It worked well for all Civilization games to date, so it makes sense to work in this one. But I believe there isn't enough interest right now due to beta.

As someone who often plays various Civ-games in hotseat mode and enjoys it a lot, I really would like the ability to do this in GalCiv 3 as well.

Hell, it doesn't even need to be for "pure" gameplay. I'd wish a hot-seat mode simply to be able to basically "simulate" a universe to use for a tabletop RPG campaign, and where I could apply changes to borders and such for all factions in such a way as the tabletop game progresses.

And for those going (especially in the other thread) "it would not work because you could watch over the other player's back": It DOES work for many of us. It worked in the 90s, it works now.
