This weekend I tried playing LoR Hotseat with a friend and it was bugged as hell. Are you actually sure it works in multiplayer?
Also I thought more extensive about the immortality-stuff, so much that I can´t further write my Gm18bnoE-story for now. I know this might be an Accepted Break from Reality, but has anyone ever thought of the consequences? With an immortal leader what sense would any of the Government Civics except for Despotism and Police State make? Hereditary Rule is kind of pointless if the king never has any successor because he can´t die, Universal Suffrage is also moot if you can´t vote a new leader. Doesn´t it hurt the self-esteem of my citizens to know that they are just pawns on my chessboard? Well, they could be controlled in a theocracy under me as god-emperor, but what about a democratic government? Even if I would allow, say, a parliamentary monarchy, in the end everything is run by me, and no matter how fair and close to the people I seem to rule, altogether it will always be a dictatorship.
But maybe I´m just thinking too much.
Cheers.
Edit: Now something else entered my mind: With me being immortal, don´t I grow de facto infinite knowledge over time if I don´t get Alzheimer or something like that?
