hotseat - naming/"cheating"

Post by zslevi »

There are two things that bother me with hotseat games:
1, All players have the same name
2, At the end of turn you get to see the enemy's units, even unintentionally. (I think there should be a blank black screen with a button: start turn.)

The second point is an oft-requested FR.

1st point: Just rename your leaders, so you can divide them ;)

Renaming the leader doesn't affect the turn dialog.

I also don't find it vastly important. Why not just choose a neutral name for both of you?

I didn't say it's vastly important.

Both have already been suggested as FRs. I'm going to work on them... when I have time. :)
