I’ve been itching to play, but trying to avoid the late game war-turns-of-doom. Anyone interested in a 3-city elimination game? At least the painful war turns will be over quickly.

Dropbox link to RB82.1 mod: https://www.dropbox.com/s/dfs7rq0jk2lrpm...1.zip?dl=1
--> RB82 Mod: aka CtH_5.0.0 with two changes: (1) to move Confucianism to ancient era, so that all players get a starting religion. (2) Techs cannot be popped from huts, switched goody hut result TECH with HIGH_GOLD.
*Sequential turns*
Classical era, by game setting (custom mod so everyone gets a religion)
Mostly-natural *minimal water* map, not heavily balanced, lighter on resources (much closer to “BtS” than “RB” lushness).
Barbs start with all ancient techs, same as players.
3-city elimination (game setting)
Emperor difficulty

Byzantines, Mongols, China and Vikings banned.
Spies allowed, great spies can scout
Barbs, events, and huts on (no techs from huts)
No Tech Trading
No Barb Cities

Players (in turn order):
1. Commodore - Nebuchadnezzar (PHI/IND) of Arabia
2. Cornflakes - Gandhi (PHI/SPI) of Greece
3. yuris125 - Frederick (PHI/ORG) of Germany
4. scooter - Willem (CRE/FIN) of America

It's been a long time since I tried to play Civ VI multiplayer.

So, Zulan was kind enough to give me the last save from PB74 and I wanted to open it in as a scenario, fool around a bit, maybe pilot my empire to a victory condition against AIs. But I don't quite see how to do that. I naively assumed you just need to put the file in Public Maps folder and launch it as a scenario but the game initially even did not identify it as a scenario file. I renamed it into a WB save, at that point the respective scenario did appear in the menu but still refused to launch (predictably, hardly simply changing the extension is all I needed). I opened the file in text processor, hoping for some enlightenment but it only showed me gibberish. What am I missing?
Also, how about we make this thread into a general "technical issues" thread and maybe pin it? I felt silly about opening an entire thread to ask one simple question but didn't figure out a different way to ask it. So, perhaps, a general "technical issues" thread might be useful.

Just a post to start a thread, will put something together when this gets a little further along.

This retort in my opinion is very weak compared to other retorts, especially the fact that heroes offering to join are of higher level, because many times when a lower level hero offers to join you you want to kill them to prevent them from re-offering to join you and the higher level is giving you a much higher hiring cost, a sort of fine, a penalty for finding this jinxed retort instead of a useful one.

How d'you make this thing work

I don't remember how to make maps
Map settings: Seven Seas, Small, 2 CS per player
[I will also set world age to new and sea level to low, giving lots of hills for production and I find more interesting land masses with low sea levels.]

here are our five slates of three leaders:

I doubt we will start up CIV VII MPs so soon. Any interest?

Rules would be the standard MJW rules.

Pangea, size depending on the players.

It is fog-of-war hack of course. Other methods would cause desyncs (mods/hacking gold. mike4all managed to hack gold without an instant desync but that only happened because only one player opens the save at a time in PBEM) or get caught much sooner (illegal diplomacy, it's only a matter of time until someone leaks). 

He got audited because he streamed while cheating. Edit: And moved settler, not scout, first

(I went back to uni and am taking a course in ancient Near Eastern literature. P.S., you may be interested to know it's apparently correctly pronounced "Shumer"!)

Looking forward to obsessing over some civ again.
