Although even if there isn't one you might be able to set up a potluck anyway by editing the save file in Notepad and switching the active and AI players around.

Pre-Release CIV VI Discussion

Perhaps this has been posted in here, but if you're like me and haven't been closely following but want a thorough rundown of everything we know, this is the nicest summary I've seen:
http://civilization.wikia.com/wiki/Civilization_VI
And I'm still going through everything on here:
http://well-of-souls.com/civ/civ6_overview.html Lots of detail on techs and civics I haven't seen elsewhere.
I'd be willing to also setup or help setup an initial MP game for whoever is interested. It will be hard to do so before we get any confirmation about what MP options are offered though.

If only you and me and dead people know hex, then only deaf people know hex.
I write RPG adventures, and blog about it, check it out.
What are we looking to have in place before a longer term MP game can work?
In all honesty I don't think the game will release with any of those. PBEM wasn't planned for civ 5. Haven't heard about the map editor, never mind it being editable via text. We always have to wait for patches, and I don't know how leaders and civs will ever be truly balanced with the civ ability mechanics rather than smaller stuff like a trait system. We just approximate by banning OP stuff and possibly allowing duplicates. I doubt an RB style MP game starts before Feb. Maybe normal MP games get played earlier.
I would be satisfied with "MP exists" (I don't think there's been express confirmation that it's in for launch, but they've said several times that they want to make it MP-friendlier than 5) and "hard crashes are uncommon."
Balance can be ad-hoc'd with bans, though until expansions it seems like the pool might be kind of shallow. |
