Civilization 3 Hotseat Diplomacy Concern
In Civ 2, when you played a hotseat game, you could send your military forces over to your friends if they needed help, i hope this options is brought back in civ 3. Does anyone agree?

Absolutely!!! And I think this will be in, the game is going to be better then the last on on all (ok, almost. That's sure.  ) areas, so then this is a must!!!
BTW: I haven't played multiplayer so much, but when you play hotseat, and you are using the diplomacy, how do you do that?  The players are on the same machine, and it is only one of them that have the turn?

Hotseat sucks compared to LAN.

Some time before Civ2 Microprose made a game called CivNet, being a standard Civ with a multiplayer option added.
In that game the diplomacy screen for negotiations between two hotseat players was changed, allowing one player to propose a deal and then switching to the other, to have it accepted or modified. The same was done in SMAC, with the hotseat patch.
Since the diplomacy window for Civ3 shows offers of both sides on one screen, I see no reason why it can not be done the way it was in CivNet and SMAC (i.e. both players having to agree to a deal before it is implemented).

It sounds like a good compromise to me, certainly much more advanced than the civ 2 diplomacy (so frustrating!!  ).

I too have had the Frustration of trying to play hotseat with 4 other people...it basically introduced a rule that we are not allowed to talk to each other since the AI will usually trade away all your hard won tech...

I had no idea that was the way Hotseat diplomacy was done in CivII. I t has been such a long time since I played Call to Power or CivII that I don't even remember ever playing Hotseat!! I feel that the best option for multiplayer is LAN. This way if you need to take a break or something everyone can plan to do it together, or whatever. Anyway, like I said, now that the MedPackII is out, I have been spending all of my time playing single player with it in CTP2. Since the AI is now almost as good as a human, and in some ways better!

LAN is definitly hands-down the best, hotseat really sucks, PBEM is probably the best non-LAN option.
