Civ 4 is hotseat capable. I've only played it with one other person though. It might get rather tiresome waiting for 4 of your buddies to play their turns.

You can try Combat Mission series if you want some wargaming. Although I'm not sure that all of the games there are hotseat capable, but they should be.

MOO2 should have hotseat mode too, so it's definitely worth a try.

Warlords I baby!!! I played hot-seat with a couple of friends for years with that game. Just be sure to set the computer AI to max.

No. It's awful. Stick to Armageddon. Or World Party if you can't get Armageddon to run (though from my experience neither will run on 64-bit OS).

HOMM is a good choice. Pick 2 or 3, depending on the type of game you want to play. 3 has endless possibilities thanks to the random generator.

This. Preferably Warlords 2 or Warlords 3 though (personal preference for 2, but that's because it's the one I played most). The AI setting there is called "I am the greatest" and makes things... fun, to say the least :smug:

Oh yes, this game is THE SHIT!.
I remember going with my older brother to his friends and playing it for hours. Or rather watching older boys play it. I was five years old then...

Dominions is bad for hotseat. This is not the kind of a game you want you opponent peering over your shoulder. Not to mention turns take hours in lategame.

Celtic Tales is a fun hotseat romp for up to 4.

Warlords 2 used to be great for larger parties back in the day.

Another vote for Warlords II. Try to get the Deluxe edition, it includes a nice editor that lets you create your own army sets and many pre-made sets. Makes for many hours of fun if you're bored with the generic armies.
I'll add the Age of Wonders series, preferably Shadow magic, it's the best of the genre I think, but turns are very long.

Another vote for Age of Wonders. Never properly got into AoW 2 though but I imagine it would be less fun than the first game in hotseat, since the maps typically had less cities and sieges were dumbed down.
