Alright, here's an idea I've heard once or twice and want to try out.
Basically, this is a hotseat campaign in the grand campaign of Medieval II total war. The idea behind it is that we pick a faction to play as, as a group. Then, we take turns playing through it, changing player every time the faction leader dies. While a player is "alive", actively the king, they are free to post their plans and what they're trying to do in the thread, as can the next player inline, offering suggestions and advise to their king. Outside of that, no backseat playing is permitted. Only if the king asks for advice on actual gameplay, such as how to do blah thing, not actual strategic advice, can it be answered; the only person allowed to offer more than that is the next in line to the throne.
This means that each new king has at least a slightly different playing style, will favour different construction and unit options, etc. to more realisticlly emulate a royal line, and breathe more challenge into the game. (I've found if well played, it gets too one sided in favour of the player)
I'd like to run this in the Retrofit Mod if possible, which can be downloaded from
I'm looking for up to 4 others to join me in this project, and want at least 2 to make it happen. Please don't sign up if you don't have the time to play; we don't have to get through each new king in a day, but if it takes over a week or two the game will drag on far too slowly.
So we have any takers or suggestions?

. The retrofit mod is basically something that applies the balance changes and new features of the kingdoms expansion onto the vanilla campaign. I'm looking for up to 4 others to join me in this project, and want at least 2 to make it happen.
