FFA Bloodbath - Live civ4 games

[GeneralKilCavalry]

Hey everyone!

Recently me and another person on my civ4 discord (https://discord.gg/FBq27MrhKs) have started a series of multiplayer games played every Sunday at 12:00 EST. We are recording the final scores of players, weighted by penalties for reconnecting as a different player, etc. We plan to formalize the format and create a website for these games soon. These games tend to be more noob-friendly and casual. All games are played on the Zulan server, so all you need is to use the 2015 exe to join.

EDIT: Here's the google drive signup.

Here is a summary of the two main game settings we play on: 

Bloodbath:
The 'Bloodbath' is a game format where 18 civs are placed on a tiny map. Players can expect 1-3 cities at the begining. Defeated players can rejoin as AI.
Map Type: Continents and Islands
Size: Tiny
Number of players: 18!!!!
Sea Level: Low
Turn-timer: Blazing

Human-Only FFA:
Human only FFA. Fight to the death with the other humans, with no AI's. No limits on maps, though it is not to exceed 'standard' size for expediency and speed. Balanced resources are preferred.

Here is our game schedule:


We will be posting the sign-up google sheets page soon on the discord (and I'll send a link here too!).

The turn timer (along with obvious double move stuff from Gamespy days) would be what keeps me from signing up.

Sometimes i have to go use the bathroom.. Other times someone double moves a stack of immortals so that i have half a turn of warning of what should be 3t of warning.. ect. Just bad memories lol

We have rules in place against the double moving - war declarations have to come in the first half of the turn.

The pace is quite fast.

Not a signup, just curious if you are playing vanilla aka PBmod or anything else?

Just vanilla. I'll introduce them to cth/rtr eventually

I thought this sounded really fun... until I looked up the timezone and discovered it was 2:00am for me. Business as usual.

I hope you guys have fun though!

When you eventually do that, send me a short PM, so that I know which PBs to track with my tracking tool.

It's been forever since I've played live civ 4 MP. Do you have any idea what the time expectations are?

The bloodbath games usually take around 2.5-3 hours. Last time we had a game run from noon until about 2:45 EST (and that's with a bunch of setup problems and two rehosts). There was a second game after running from about 3:30 EST to 7pm that went to assembly line/railroad starting from ancient era.

I would love to play an occasional MP game (I haven't played Civ in like 2 years and will be rusty, but I was never good at the game in the first place :P ), but turn timer faster than medium would be too much pressure to be fun for me
