I think once we get our Civs we should get COOL PROFILES OF THEM.

Also, I found this for GMP: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sogger.gmrnotifier.free

It's an Android app that will alert you when it's your turn! Not sure if there's one for iPhone. I don't have an iPhone. Who even has an iPhone anymore?

Can you play with modded Civs in passaround games? I've only ever played real-time multiplayer which sadly doesn't allow mods.

Also can we get some better names for these games also. Game one and Game 2 are so dry.

Game 1: Cool Game

I think good names will emerge once we get our Civs.

I would be fine with a "each player may request one mod" rule or something.

But maybe they don't necessarily get it? Like I can request Pol Pot but might not get him (so I'm still random). Also would there be AI Civs in these games or no?

Well as long as everybody agrees on the mods I think it should be fine.

I'm always wary of modded civs because they are often unbalanced.

This is true. Maybe not a good idea for a cool chill game.

I don't know what good mods are for Civ so I won't request any :)

I would suggest the Perfect World map generator as my mod; it's really nice at what it does. Alternatively the ones that give you tons of more religion options (but not the silly ones like Discordianism).

I usually play with UI mods and such but mod taste is so personal and these games are going to be a long haul

qq ur a baby and ur tears are poops because ur head is a butt

also I suppose none of us need Perfect World except the player who generates the map. I would highly recommend it though!

Good. Good.

I would be fine restricting mods to only ones that provide aesthetic changes that have no actual effect on gameplay.

Jump King

Oh yeah should we poll the players about what mapgen settings we're using as well? The high/sea, old/young, wet/dry stuff?

I think its all fine, just don't put natural resources at high or gold per turn high or anything and I'm happy. Islands, continents, Pangaea, earth, all fun.

Game 2 seems already seems much better than game 1, lets all truce together and try to break open a portal to game 1 and then kill them.

I would normally find such a deal unsavory, inadvisable, and snakelike in its mere offer, so of course I accept.

Let's do low seas, cold weather (little ice age!), and wet. That'll make things a little more scarce and good land a little harder to fight for. Also continents.

idk what poor decisions you've made in your life where "opening a portal to an alternate dimension so as to murder your alternate universe self" isn't already on your list of life goals.

My favorite is archipelago, hot and dry with a high sea level.

I just find it satisfying to conquer desert islands.

Could at least flip one or two, maybe.
You'll be playing this until November and most of your turns will be two minutes of loading up the game just to hit end turn.

God speed, noble savages.

edit: oh and one person will inevitably be set in a mountain hell hole with desert and tundra as far as the eye can see
