I am trying to play Hotseat with my brother without any luck, because stupid me cannot start the game. I set two players human, close all other players, set civilization to random, and it still says not all players have joined. Even with 2 humans and all computers it gives same message. Is there any solution, or I am missing something really simple?

Well, your doing a bit better than I am. I am trying to start a hotseat game, but cant even find how to select two players. Do I go under New Game? Or do I go under Multiplayer? I have searched around both and can't figure this out. Help me please!
Help us both!

Go under multiplayer. After it loads click host. Then change the game to hotseat and Add Human Player. Should work Shecky

Make sure to set location to local not internet.
Then click on Host, Hotseat should be one of your options at that point.
