sluggo Posted December 21, 2000 Share Posted December 21, 2000 I can't a lot of info on plating hotseat. How does that work? Does one person put in his orders while the other looks away and then they switch before the action phase? Is there any way to direct connect two PCs and play head-to-head? Has anyone got CM running on a laptop? Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawk-vfa201 Posted December 21, 2000 Share Posted December 21, 2000 hot seat: never tried. CM on a laptop: absolutely. Powerbook G3 466 MHz (upgraded chip, but was running ok also on the original 266 MHz), Ati Rage Pro, 192MB RAM, 14.1 active matrix screen and you are set for roadwarrior CM, 1024x768 res, . PS Still it is better with my Voodoo5 on the desktop G3 and 21' screen, and 1280x960 res. I could go higher there but Voodoo5 crops the view. Waiting for new drivers to go to higer res (gosh, I could select 2048x1536: will it work? ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawk-vfa201 Posted December 21, 2000 Share Posted December 21, 2000 ops, sorry. Wrong res. On the desktop the Voodoo5 beautifully renders at 1600x1024 (new drivers already ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He purchases units, sets his folks up, and clicks go. he then goes upstairs and gets a beer while his friends stops singing old negro spiritual hymns and sits down to process his turn. That friend sees the first movie. After that movie is played, that friend goes to the commode while the first friend sits down and watches the movie and then plots a new turn. my .02 ------------------ Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction. - Blaise Pascal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFCElvis Posted December 22, 2000 Share Posted December 22, 2000 Hiram is correct. With a couple of exceptions. To play hotseat it does not need to be a QB. As a matter of fact the one me, Hiram and Peng played was a premade scenario. He is right that each turn you watch a movie and plot. Depending on who went first you either get movie then plot or plot then movie. Also, a stand up bass should be played loudly and badly enough to annoy the wife. ------------------ What do we do with a terrible liar? Well, Great liars we send into the clergy.
