I haven't found any posts about problems with the HOTSEAT mode of the game, so here goes. (Let it first be known that I've installed the PTW 1.14 patch):
1) DIFFICULTY LEVEL REVERTS TO CHIEFTAIN: I've had sporadic success with assigning difficulty level in a game. All except one time I've not been able to keep the difficulty level I chose originally. It, for some ungodly reason, reverts to CHIEFTAIN level every time! I can tell because I've tried loading the game again, where it always tells you the difficulty level you're on, and I've also played until my first city grows to see if I would get the characteristic DEITY disorder upon reaching size 2. My people are happy as clams and, on top of that, the other civs are pathetic, so it can't be DEITY. I know that the interface tends to readjust settings back on the setup screen for no good reason when other pick lists are selected, so when hosting and launching the hotseat game, I watch the difficulty level closely to be sure it doesn't revert to some other level. Even when it says it's still DEITY, it never turns out to be.
2) LOADING HOTSEAT GAMES CAUSES ERRORS: If, while playing a hotseat game, I try to load an autosave or any saved game, it loads the game as single player. It does work if I LAUNCH a saved hotseat game from the MULTIPLAYER menu, but I can't believe that you have to go to the main menu every time to be able to load a game.
Thank you in advance for any help or suggestions.
