Hotseat Campaigns
A Hotseat Campaign is an online Freeform Campaign that can accommodate up to 8 players currently due to in-game glitches. Player take turns as their faction then usually email or otherwise transfer a save file of the campaign to the other players, whom upon entering the password for the their turn play there turn, and so on. Hot Seat Campaigns are somewhat limited, as players cannot truly play against one another and must rely on the CPU to resolve battles on the battle map for them if another player engages them when it is not their turn, and have no means of effectively communicating in-game.
