Just how good is the hotseat multi-player?

The hotseat Multi-player is as good as it's ever been and I've been playing with 7 other people on an 8 person map which is great seeing as we've been able to play as every faction and the only problem is the time it takes to play, but there's nothing we can do about that except try to take much shorter turns. I haven't noticed any glitches so far which is good seeing as I love the series.

Although I will always state that number III is the best, this one has made up for the degradation IV and V succumbed to with the useless expansion packs and the graphics improvements without attention to the rapidly shallowing characters to the point of them being shallower than a summer puddle in the desert. In number VI I never skipped a cut-scene, not because of the graphics (which were none less than beautiful), but because of the storyline which is the most engaging since number III.

I really want to see how the inevitable expansion packs and patches improve the game because they're going to be amazing (unless they keep changing their minds about a small detail like they did in number IV with the caravan system).
