CIV VI PBEM Organizing Thread
|
Any interest in playing a PBEM with CIV VI?
My solution with the mediocre AI with V was playing MP with friends and it was a lot of fun. I think VI should be a blast if we get 4-5 players together and give this a whirl. Anyone up for it?
I'll toss my hat into the ring on this too. There is supposed to be a new patch dropping shortly, so waiting for Yuris and the patch to appear makes sense. We can discuss potential settings in the meantime. I will post more tonight when on an actual computer.
I'm interested, too. Also, may I suggest the following https://www.playyourdamnturn.com/ for organizing the game? It's a client that notifies you when your turn is up and it makes passing saves between players really easy.
Welcome teh! Always good to see some new faces around here.
 Like Yuris, I agree that the PYDT website looks like the way to go right now, barring some kind of new PBEM feature appearing in the next patch. How many players do we want to have? My understanding is that going too far above 5 players is asking for trouble. I guess we can see how much interest there is from others on the forums. Do we want to discuss potential game settings at all? I would tentatively suggest turning off barbarians and the goody huts as a starter. Does anyone know if there's a map editor or something similar available yet for Civ6? That would be helpful for me in designing the Single Player Civ6 events as well! 
I found these two threads about the world builder through a quick google search: Reddit thread and civfanatics thread. I haven't tried either of the methods yet, so I don't know how much of the map we can edit right now.
In terms of settings, I would agree with the barbarian and goody hut suggestions. What's the suggested number of civs for a small map, 6? I would think that would be a good max number of players if we go with that map size.
I am good with those settings apart from that we probably have not enough experience yet to rule anything out.
We can just go with a random map on the first try around, but maybe someone wants to offer us a map. Right now we have: TheArchduke yuris125 Rowain Sullla teh All we need is a map made by someone or we just roll the dice, which should be fine for the first PBEM around here. |
