Me and My friend Jarkko, and probably many other colonization players, noticed 8 years ago that you can play HOTSEAT in COLONIZATION.
----
This is not an official HOTSEAT because it is based on a bug and has only LIMITED possibilities.
Start game normally. When you are choosing your country CLICK THE EMPTY AREA BELOW the english flag. After that screen gets messy. Press Enter.
And continue game normally. After the harbour-leaving-animation, when you are in actual game, save the game and quit to dos(box).
Start the saved game. And voilá, you have 4-players/countries HOTSEAT-play.
