Hmm, play by Cloud.

Could it be that they actually did something useful?

Yeah, that could be a cirrus improvement.

Any idea how this interacts with Joint Wars? Apparently since May 2018 you can use a Causus Belli on a Joint War so long as one of the participants denounced 5 turns ago. Chandragupta might be able to play off someone else's denunciation - or they might have coded it so that doesn't work with his power.

You did say that no-one lets Causus wars happen anyway, so maybe it's all moot, but it is a possible case.

Won't work as you need two close cities, taking away the element of surprise, and Chadra's ability is so strong that it would induce that denounced player to DoW him.

There are worse trainwrecks out there anyway. Like Australia? That ability alone screams "MP, who cares about MP?"

? It works just fine as all that needs to happen is a DoW. If you are talking about overpoweredness then Scythia is much worse. Once we have a banned list we might as well remove the useless leaders to stop India, Greece and England/France civs from being picked more than others for no reason.

It's pretty clear they don't after you spend just 5 minutes in their lobby, broken civs aside. Desyncs, random crashes and gamebreaking bugs, terrible matchmaking (as in it doesn't exist, the guy who joined your game might be a 20 year civ veteran or a kid who just clicked multiplayer by accident) and region-locked servers (in 2019!) mean that if you're European and want to do some late-night civving you are SooL as you can't expand to global queues and the EU lobby is a ghosttown...

Best is the livestream.

Ed: "I do not play Multiplayer." "Culture Victory is my default victory type."

Yep. MP clearly has been a priority.

2 years after the fact we now have the first time that MP is actually touched upon by the devs.

I mean, Ed has a point, the kind of multiplayer he might possibly be interested in, isn't even supported by his game (yet), and requires third party hacks. Who might be interested in a liveplaying a full game of Civ, I also have no idea, and I have no desire to find out. As for cultural victory, Tourism is his baby, it's what he has brought to the Civ series, if anyone in the world appreciates the mechanic and the subtleties introduced in the appropriate buildings, improvements and civics, it's him.

Disagree there. But it certainly is not a mass audience. Good enough for Paradox though. 13k at the last MP LAN.
