Hello !

I heard somewhere that will be a hotseat multiplayer mode with the 1.3 patch but I didn't see anything in there

Is this still envisaged ?

Thank you

You heard wrong. There is no plan to include any sort of multiplayer short of a *possible* multiplayer expansion. Maybe. If there was one, it wouldn't be until 2007 anyway though.

I think somebody said not to ask about MP in one of the 1,3 beta release threads.

There are instructions on how to play a two player hotseat game in the sticky thread entitled "Did you know you could do this". Should work in 1.3 as well, wouldn't think they would disable it.

Pity, since developing hotseat taking much less time then any other forum of MP. It could technically be done in patch.

Well, you would need a "will" for that, but amount of job for doing Hotseat is not much.

New interface screen for human to human diplomacy, a few changes in exitsting screens and few tweaks in save file data.

Considering what features where added in previous patches, yes it could be done in the patch, if there are those willing.
