GMR/hotseat fast start?

[nathyus]

Hi everybody!

Sorry if this question has been answered several times. I've been searching for it but I haven't found anything about it.

I recently started using GMR, after many attempts with traditional multiplayer and its horrible simultaneous-turn system.

For now works great and I think is the best way I've found to my friends and I take turns to play "the old way".

I wonder if there is some way of converting an internet/LAN multiplayer savegame into hotseat savegame. That way we can run a fast start, let's say... on the first day playing 30 or 40 turns of a game without having to send the saves back and forth, and then switch to GMR, playing on a turn-per-day basis.

If it's not possible or recommended... can you suggest me other way of doing? what's the usual starting up of the GMR public games?

Thanks in advance!

It is possible with a work around. I haven't tried it, but, as I understand it, you can save the traditional multiplayer game, convert that save into a scenario, then run the scenario through GMR.

I suppose that 'scenario' is the word that I missed out for searching. I'll take a look around it.

Thanks!
