Title: Civ VI PBEM Game recruitment Thread
Post by: Barthheart on February 05, 2021, 12:28:19 PM
Since there is no forum for PBEM games * cough, cough* I'll just post this here and hope people can find it.

Anyone interested in a PBEM game of Civ VI turn using their built-in PBEM system. Never used it myself but figure it's worth a try.

We can configure the game for whatever DLC people have, though I'm hoping for a full on loaded up version.

Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

 :D

I didn't know it had a PBEM system.

I only have the base Civ VI game, none of the expansions. Are those required?

Depends on how we setup the game. It can be set to use only the base game.

They do, however, make the game much, much better.  ;)

I am game for this, however I do feel that we should at least go up until the latest big expansion because the game is a lot better with those. Civ packs are less important.

If we dont get enough people for expansion play I'd be down for vanilla as a last resort, but I find changing game config every time between games tedious.

No further interest?
We might need to take this to Civfanatics, Barth.

I want to backpedal on my request above; I stated that changing config per game is tedious, but I now see that upon gamesetup you can define a 'gamepack' (or whatever its called). Seems like you can setup a vanilla game now without having to manually disable expansion packs.
If that's the case then I have little issue with going for vanilla if that brings in more players here.

I'm interested... in about 3-4 weeks.

I need to get a paycheck or two in from the new job first and can get Civ6 on the new machine (now that I have a computer strong enough to run it)

PSA: Civ6 is scheduled to get a sizeable update this April (https://www.pcgamesn.com/civilization-vi/april-2021-patch).

I'd be up for this, but I've only got the base game

Just got all of the DLC.

Steam has all Civ VI content on sale right now.

Interested

I'll probably go ahead and get both DLC, so I'll be flexible for any game.

Why don't you, since you've done it before and I have no idea what I'm doing.  :P

Don't look at me! We used PYDT, not the built-in thingamajig. :)

Have taken a peek, though, and it seems either I need to invite people or post an invite link here.

So, before I can do that I'd like to have a roll-call on who wants to play and what your game limitations are (exp pack or no).

Yskonyn - have everything
Barth - has everything

I am terrible but i would be interested... never realised it had a PBEM system either
Title: Re: Civ VI PBEM Game recruitment Thread
Post by: TTC on February 11, 2021, 12:45:19 PM
I would definitely be interested.

I currently only have vanilla but could expand for a good reason.

What timeframe are we looking at for turns?
Title: Re: Civ VI PBEM Game recruitment Thread
Post by: Yskonyn on February 12, 2021, 10:43:56 AM
Great! I think we have enough for a great game. But more can join if they want.

As for turns, lets try to keep it as snappy as we can, at least try to  return your play within 24 hrs you get it.
If you require more time just be communicative. We can work with eachother well as long as everyone keeps an effort to inform others going.

When do we plan to start?
Title: Re: Civ VI PBEM Game recruitment Thread
Post by: Yskonyn on February 14, 2021, 07:01:06 AM
This coming week?
Title: Re: Civ VI PBEM Game recruitment Thread
Post by: Dave Pumphouse on February 14, 2021, 01:59:24 PM
I'd be up for that

Post by: Yskonyn on February 15, 2021, 02:14:41 AM
Ok guys, to start it would make it easier if you all add me as a friend on Steam. It’ll make in game invites easy.

This is me:
My Steam profile (https://steamcommunity.com/id/yskonyn”)
Title: Re: Civ VI PBEM Game recruitment Thread
Post by: Yskonyn on February 17, 2021, 04:27:43 PM
Ok guys let’s get this rolling!

We have confirmed:
Barth
OJsDad
Cyrano
Velker
Yskonyn

I need confirmation from:
TTC
Dave
BanzaiCat
thecommandtent
Tuna

The plan is to run a game with both expansions. Nation packs only needed for the one you want to play.
If you want in please add me as a friend on Steam (see link above) and post here that you’re definitely on board.
I want to start this game again this coming weekend.

Some rules:
-Please be diligent in playing your turn. If you need extended time please post in the dedicated thread (http://www.armchairdragoons.com/forum/index.php?topic=3015.0) and let everyone know. Comms is paramount.
-It will be a LONG game. Most likely over a year. Understand that PBEM is slow paced.
-Diplomacy is allowed with any tools preferred. It does not have to be in the open to other players.
-If you backstab people and the game mechanics allow for it then its allowed, but remember that people won’t forget. It might cause reputation damage to your reputation as a player and community member here . :D
-Cheating in any form or altering the game in any shape or form is not allowed, this includes using exploits that are known issues to be addressed by patches in future.
