	What is the Hotseat seting in multiplayer about in PTW Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations

I saw a screen in the list of screenshots for Play the World and I wanted to know what the forth one was about; it was called Hotseat.

Another question: I know it will make that game long, but is there going to be a multiplayer setting in PTW that lets you play a multiplayer game on one computer?

Hotseat = multiplayer on one computer. It's called that 'cuz the seat is still warm when you sit down for your turn.

Hotseat can also be used for PBEM (play by email). Usually, hotseat games won't let the next person play until they enter a password, so for PBEM you just save when a password is need to play the next turn and mail it to whoever is next.

Though i haven't looked at the screenshots yet, I assume PTW has a PBEM function as well as hotseat - but they will work pretty much the same way.
