I just went out and purchased the Gold Edition with Dark Avatar on lunch (yipeeee for me!!!). My brother and I play a ton of Civ4 in hotseat mode and I would love to do the same in GalCiv2. I thought I remember reading something about a quasi-hotseat mode in GalCiv2. Does this option still exist with Dark Avatar loaded? If so, could someone please post specific step-by-step instructions on how to setup a game in this mode? Do you still have to create another shortcut and add "cheat" at the end of the command line? Any information would be appreciated. Thanks for your time!
