Hotseat games: Diplomacy
I'm playing my boy in a hotseat game and when we met the ai took over the diplomacy - my civ appeared to him as an ai civ. Same on my side.
Is this normal for hotseat games?

Yes, I thought so at the time. It's logical, though. It's the SP version of the game. There's no provision for more than one non-AI civ." ... and the following morning I should see the Boks wallop the Wallabies again?" - Havak

Install a network in your house and play a MP game. Works better than hotseat games

My 11 year old just started at civ again after his older brothers had convinced him that it was boring.
I could link up 2 of our computers and play him.

IIRC the interaction in hotseat games is like that in PBEM games. It is a rather clumsy way to play MP IMO..........but some people make it work.Comment

Making it "work" and doing it right are two different things What fun is Diplomacy if the AI is making the decisions...

It's a load of fun when you manage to trade techs...
Then the other guy gets to the chair and realizes that you just got Invention for Mapmaking.

I dunno, its clumsy but we had a lot of fun. I especially enjoyed catching him trying to look at my screen. Its nice being in the same room.
When he saw my knights appearing in force near his capital he suggested we start another game
