There are many ways you can play strategy games, but playing a game of Civilization V, with twelve factions, and a single person playing all twelve in order to direct the course of history for that game, is certainly a new one. It’s not one I’ve heard about often, at least.
But hey, since Firaxis isn’t announcing Civilization 7 any time soon, the Civ player base might as well find new ways to enjoy the games they have. User MartinChatski on the Civ subreddit has been sharing one especially galaxy-brained way they like to enjoy Civilization V using hotseat multiplayer. “I’ve played multiple really long hot seats games against myself from the Ancient to the Information Era where I built the world essentially from scratch!,” they explain.
Hotseat is traditionally a way that people on the same machine can play games against each other, with play formally shifting from person to person - since the advent of the internet, it’s not a mode of high importance. But for MartinChatski, it’s a way to keep in control of a game that can often be highly unpredictable.
