Civ 5 Hot Seat + Internet Play, is it possible?

I have two friends that I enjoy playing Civ 5 with, however one doesn't have a computer so he plays Civ 5 with the other friend in a Hot Seat game. Is it possible to host a game over the internet where a subset of the players play using Hot Seat?

Example: Player A plays on Computer 1 Player B plays on Computer 2 Player C plays on Computer 2

Player A and Players B + C are connected over the network.

Is there anyway that this is possible in Civ 5?

Solution 1:

Depends on what you mean by host.

You cannot use different methods of multiplayer, so if someone needs hot seat, the entire game needs to use hot seat. To accomodate, what you would need to do is create the Hot Seat game, and then send the save file back and forth so that each PC can take it's needed turns. It would boil down to file transfer, whether live through a file share or emailing it back and forth.

That said, there are websites out there that help make this a lot less onerous than it sounds.
