Title: Any good hotseat games to recommend?
Post by: Riggswolfe on October 23, 2006, 09:50:10 AM
I was thinking of some hotseat games to play with my girlfriend. The only one I know i have is MOO2. I think Disciples 2 might be hotseat but I'm not 100% sure. Any others?

Most turn based stratgy games have hotseat. The one I used to play all the time was Heroes of Might and Magic 3, that was good times. Also, I think Civ4 has hotseat, but im not 100%.

if Civ4 has hotseat that would be ideal because I was considering buying it anyway.

edit: I wish Alpha Centauri had hotseat. That, and that I had been smart enough to buy the expansion. I got it for my evil ex and not for me. Duh.

We got Civ IV and played it. She's got alot to learn about this type of game, so we're on game two with game 1 ceded to me after she got wiped out after declaring war on her NPC neighbor early on. What makes dating her fun is she likes these games and I get to be her mentor. That and she's cute when she pouts because Kyoto got taken out by Augustus Ceasar.

I feel sorry for her in our current game though. I found 3 free scouts from villages and have my whole continent explored. I have the biggest city in the known world right now, plus 3 other large cities. My country has been stable and growing quickly. I have like 4 wonders of the world and am way up the tech tree due to turning great engineers in for tech advancements. She was beat to the Great Wall by 1 turn and has since been attacked by 10 barbarian raiders in the last 4-5 turns. (Roughly 2-3 raiders a turn come to her territory.) She has used all her resources fighting them off, repairing the damage to her infrastructure and retaking 2 cities. (they just happened to hit her two newest cities.) On the plus side she now has an archer unit that is pretty high level.
