CIV VI PBEM Organizing Thread

[Sullla]

Two last things to discuss:

1) Game speed? I think that with only four players we should be good to use Standard speed, and that would be my preference. Does anyone want something else?

2) Allowed leaders: I am thinking that we should allow the Aztecs, since they are available as a free download for everyone, but not Poland, especially because of that weird tile-stealing mechanism that Poland has. Other thoughts on this topic?

1) Standard is good with me.

2) What you propose makes sense, +1 for removing Poland but keeping the Aztecs.

[TheArchduke]

Yeah, no Poland. There is Civdraft for that.

I drew myself India, I will go with that.

Standard speed is fine.

I'm interested in this game although work commitments prevented me from throwing my hat into the ring.

I'm happy to look over the map if there were still concerns with the map script throwing up anything unbalanced.

And I'm happy to start a lurker thread for the rest of us to have discussions/gossip.

Standard speed is good

[TheArchduke]

So we start around the 13th. Next up is getting a forum for this.

Maybe Rowain would roll us a map, we could start strategizing.

[Sullla]

Here is a compilation of the settings that we have agreed on:

Standard Ruleset
Difficulty: Prince
Era: Ancient
Game Speed: Standard
Map: 4-Leaf Clover
Resources: Standard
Start Position: Standard
Duplicate Leaders Allowed, No Barbarians, No Tribal Villages
Aztecs allowed, Poland not allowed

It looks like everyone other than TheArchduke has managed to log into the test game that teh posted. Here's the link again to the test game (password "realms"): https://www.playyourdamnturn.com/game/33...c97da218d5

Are we missing anything else for the setup?

[TheArchduke]

Hmm, it won´t let me sign in. I am not seeing a register somewhere and on dl my antivirus isolates it.

[yuris125]

You log in through Steam, it's not obvious, but it will send you to the sign-in page when you try to join the game

Antivirus may be a problem, Pindicator also had problems with GMR client in the last few days. You may have to switch it off for the installation and exclude the folder where the client is installed

[TheArchduke]

Ah, thanks, not really obvious indeed.
