Quick question about multiplayer

Can I play this game over a lan connection with my self with a single copy of the game? What I mean by this is if I wanted to play as two different nations at the same time could I set up a multiplayer game and then run the game at the same time on two different computers over a lan connection? Thanks

You can use hotseat instead and just need one computer

What you want is possible but not easy, the game will not let you connect if your steam account display name is the same on both computers. So you have to log out on one computer, login on the other, change the display name, and go into offline mode on the one computer so your not on the internet with the same account twice. And then you should be able to connect on a LAN game.
