Pindicator is joining us. I asked chucmhu for a new save and will look to set up the game and start playing tomorrow. Fingers crossed

Yay! Is he staying with the Rome pick? Or is that TBD

[yuris125]

Yes, he's keeping Rome

[pindicator]

Don't feel strongly enough to change it

Btw, I've played 1 or 2 MP games of CiV ever, and might need some reminders on how to play / pass the turn with Steam.

We're going to use Giant Multiplayer Robot, as Civ5 doesn't support multiplayer on custom maps, and doesn't have native support for PBEM at all

Download the client from multiplayerrobot.com, then here are the instructions to play the save

* You click the game and click Play turn
* It starts Civ5
* Once it's ready, click Multiplayer - Hotseat - Load Game
* The save will be called (GMR) Play this one!
* After you play the turn, remember to click Save
* Once you save the turn, GMR will close the game and suggest to submit it

It's all straightforward apart from the fact that you need to look for the save under Hotseat

I have the new save and should be able to send invites in about 1-1.5 hours

Thrilled to have you onboard Pin.

I installed GMR and see the old RB PBEM2 on my list of games but don't see any invites.

You should have gotten the invite into your email with a link to click on to join the game.

Nope, haven't seen an email
