Civilization V!

Unfortunately, I’ll be working all of sunday afternoon, so this one will be without me. Have fun!

I’m still doing my finals, but in two weeks time I’ll be up for almost anything. I’m in the CEST time zone until they change it back to the winter time zone in October.

Civilization VI looks hype as hell. I really hope they have official pitboss servers, that’d save us from some of the pain of scheduling - we could just take turns whenever we’re free!

(That takes someone running the server on a PC in a closet somewhere right now, and you can only have one game running at a time…)

Seriously. Civ 6 looks glorious. Lots of fun new mechanics.

I think I’ll stick to civ 5 because my computer probably would kill itself harder than it already is. Also I played with @ghagler the other day and I realized I can’t play maps bigger than standard. By late game my computer just can’t handle it and it runs ~0.1 frames per second. (It was large map size.)

Strategic view is laggy too?

Okay. So lets bring this topic up from the pit of Oblivion it fell into.
Seeing how people actually showing interest in playing a game or two…
I think that we should start discussing the actual time (and actual day) when we can play… I hope that we will, yeah.
I am in UTC+7 timezone, but I can find a time to play at pretty much anytime on the weekends (for now).
So… any ideas?

I’d like to play a game…

No really, I’d be down on weekends as just a scheduled thing if we can find a time.

Thought: if anyone has an old machine they can set up for it, we can play Pit Boss mode; asynchronous, anyone can take their turn whenever they’re free, and the turn ends when everyone has taken theirs. (Only strictly enforced turn orders are PvP wars, obviously.)

Do you happen to know of a way that notifies the player who doesn’t take their turn with something on discord? Like if someone forgets is the a thing that will remind them a few times?

It can send emails or Steam notifications!

Thats actually a good idea, but I don’t have a 2nd alive PC now, so I can’t set up a server. orz

Oooh. I may have something here. Let me see if I can’t get something set up tomorrow.

@Aspirety I wanna play too!

I like Civ V

Count me in. A bit bored from playing Hearts of Iron IV.

So, @Aspirety, did you try what you wanted to?
I guess this weekend is impossible, but would be nice to decide thing before the next Saturday.

Hey remember when we all had scheduled games… Never. Well that doesn’t mean we still can’t do them! I’m bumping this thread to see if we can get some people for either Civ V or Civ VI. I’ll also add a doodle poll when I get home (if I can remember) and then maybe we can have a weekly session or something.

Well as you probably already know I’m up for this, should be fun! I don’t think I’m very good at Civ but I’ll try to put up a fight :haha:

This may have been overkill but it’s my first time using it. Here’s a doodle poll for Civ V only. I’ll probably make one for Civ VI later. I made the options into 2 hour block because its Civ. If the same bunch of people vote for a large block in succession then that would probably work out nicely seeing as Civ games aren’t the shortest things ever.

It’s been a while since I’ve played Civilization 5 (I only have Civ 5) but I’d like to test my skills with you. My main computer is still broken, but I think my notebook should run the game. I will have to download the game.
