Another Civ6 Duel

[Cornflakes]

Anybody interested in another Duel Civ6 game? From the 2 games with TheArchduke we learned that the default starting locations are way too close, with the one right play being early aggression. I made a couple of edits to the starting location generator to increase the starting distance from 9 tiles to 20 tiles, locating the players approximately on opposite ends of the Duel-sized Pangaea. Also I made freshwater a mandatory requirement for starting positions. Coastal starts are still possible, but only if they are also lake-side or river-side. This should take care of the issues that cropped up in the previous duels.

Also my schedule has opened up and I can consistently play turns now. I have all the DLC so I'm open to either including or excluding them from the pick options. So, anybody interested?

Sure, I've been interested in playing Civ6 multiplayer for a while now but don't want to commit to a full PBEM, so a duel seems good. What kind of turn-pace are you anticipating? The only DLC I don't have is the Viking scenario pack, but I don't think (?) that one adds anything to a normal game.

Early on it would be nice to get through the turns fairly quickly. In general a turn or two a day, but if you need a couple days off here and there that’s fine. The only DLC I can’t do is Aztec because for some reason it is broken on my normal playing computer.

Are you fine with the same settings? Pangea, everything standard settings on the map? Fine with picking civs by the same method? Post your pick in spoilers, cross it off and re-pick if we hit the same civ?

[Mr. Cairo]

Sure, is it just open picking? Whatever I want (except Aztecs ofc)? Or will there be a pool? Also, I'm assuming we'll play via PYDT, I'm downloading the client now, but I'm not exactly familiar with it.

A turn a day seems fine, I can probably do more on the weekends, depending on your time zone (I'm Pacific time, UTC-7).

All those other settings look good to me.

OK, joined the game. I'm Xactilian on Steam (and therefore on PYDT)
