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?

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)

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

Just got all of the DLC.

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