Is anyone actually playing this vs actual people?

Too me, multiplayer IS hotseat, as the internet is too impersonal and too slow and not as fun to me as face to face. But then I grew up on board games. Get together with my friends and we play hotseat and we have a good time. Also hotseat is Great for playing with girlfriends, wives, and children for it lets you spend quality time with your family and still play a game. With hotseat you can have a family game day and play a computer game. You can't do that with just internet games. For me, if a game does not have hotseat, its not multiplayer, so SEIV is one of the few "multiplayer" games available for me. I did not buy CTP2 because it didn't have hotseat where CTP1 did, and I am very upset and probably won't buy MOO III because it won't have hotseat. I am REALLY enjoying the Hotseat multiplayer games.
