Should Galactic Civilization 2 have a Hotseat mode?

from GalCiv2 Forums
I've played turn-based games before. Most of them had (for you who don't know what it is) a hotseat mode. Its a multiplayer mode that lets two or more players, play the same game on the same computer. Its like, I do my turn, and when I click "End Turn" its another person's turn. I let him/her have the computer and do their turn, and so on. I think it would greatly improve Galactic Civilization 2's play value if it had a Hotseat mode. The game is designed so it could be done that way. Any comments?

Most definately. Online would also be awsome, although games would take AGES. That's the problem with multiplayer, I think-unless you crank the research rate way up, games take hours and hours.

I think this is a dead-horse topic... whatever...
I'd love the hotseat mode. No other kinda multiplayer to GC2 DL/DA, just the hotseat.

I'd pay good money for an expansion that does nothing but add hotseat support.

I'm glad you posted what a hot seat meant, because i've always wanted the ability to swap races mid game.....once i start to dominate, i'd love to take a race that was weaker and see if i could build them back to dominance....I currently take a set-up and then after i win with one race, i try the other races one at a time to see if i can still win.....seems to help me understand the various races a little better and its lots of fun to kick one race into submission and then play that same race the next game....
