Civ6 PBEM4 Organizing Thread

Time windows are know, once more here:

GMT: 5:00-7:00
16:00-20:00

To be honest I prefer to fiddle with the diplomatic side of things, but if the majority in the game seems set against it, I am cool.

Regarding riciulous NAPs, they seem to be hardcoded in the game with the DoFs, but have a limit of 30 turns which does prevent the worst of it, we could limit NAPs to such DoFs?

[Woden]

My ideal times would be:
11:00 - 14:00 GMT
0:00 - 4:00 GMT

My "ideal" times have changed a little from PBEM2 as I am trying to get to work a little earlier since it is my busy time of the year but I am still flexible with remote play. I will leave it up to you, oledavy, to decide if you want to play before me or after. Its been working so far.

[Woden]

I guess I will have to read up on the samples of diplomacy oledavy listed as my only exposure is reading PB1 and PB2 and those seemed a little role-playish. Is that what full diplomacy looks like? Never played with it. It might be nice to try it but I don't know how much impact it would have on the game. I guess I don't care either way.

I think the sequence Woden -> Singaboy has worked pretty well most of the times. Unless you want to slot in a European in between

[pindicator]

Haha, I just remembered PB7. Now there was a public diplo game

[Singaboy]

I am sitting on the fence regarding diplomacy.

In Civ 4, I assume turns would take a much longer time thanks to the many units you have in the late game? Maybe not....not too sure.

[T-hawk]

That being said, here are some things you should know before advocating a full diplo game.

5. Full diplomacy slows down turn pace.  People will hold the turn waiting for a response from somebody or even for themselves to do diplo writing.  Everyone's been praising the great turn pace that the current Civ 6 players deliver, do you want to risk compromising that?

[Woden]

If it is a lot more work and slower turn pace, then I am starting to lean towards not having full diplomacy but am open to other ideas.

[Woden]

What do people think of using Wet Climate and Abundant Resources. I suggest Wet Climate to add more fresh water on the islands for more housing options and more forests to speed development. And Abundant Resources might "balance" the board a little in the way that everybody should have access to plenty of resources but there is still a chance that someone has "better" resources. I think both should lead to a little quicker game with faster development. Movement shouldn't be too much an issue with both Wet Climate and New Age because a lot of movement should be by water.

Just throwing it out there for discussion.

Limited diplomacy?

I am not really satisfied with the AI diplomacy, takes a lot of attractiveness of the human element in those games away in my eyes.
