When I was younger and dumber I thought Canada should be a civ in Civilization.

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

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

GMR allows mods yeah

Jump King
Aug 10, 2011

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.

Jump King
Aug 10, 2011

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

Jump King
Aug 10, 2011

I like the perfect world mod though.

Jump King
Aug 10, 2011

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

Jump King
Aug 10, 2011

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.

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

as netherlands

it's more about the friends you make along the way

Sure, sign me up for Game 2 :sun:

Ah, we have 6 players right now and I'm not sure if we should have too many more than that if we want to keep the game under a year.

Also I know game 1 wants AIs to kick around, are we doing that too?

EccoRaven posted:

Already Game 2 proves itself the better game. MMM what DLC should we have for it? Just G&K and BNW? Do we want any civ-specific mods? Etc.

Just the expansions sounds good unless somebody wants to play dlc civ and we all have it. I've got all the dlc (except maybe map packs? I can't remember) so if somebody wants that just give a shout.

I'm going to be ready soon. The reason I couldn't start something until this week Is that I was dealing with OWURG and the aftermath. I'm on my phone so somebody else will have to quote that to make it a link.

I can probably set something up tomorrow?

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.

The game is a little cramped at quick but I can understand if we want to be finished the game in less than a year

Jump King
Aug 10, 2011

This game is going to be huge, I think we're on the verge of undergoing mitosis.

Yesterday I was scrambling to prepare for a show that's happening today so I was quite busy. I should be able to get GMR set up before I leave though.

Uhhhhh

My monitor seems to be broken? Or my computer. I can't see anything on the screen even though both devices are on.

Jump King
Aug 10, 2011

Yeah I've tried restarting, and hard rebooting.

I've unplugged the input/output cable from both devices and plugged it back in. I'm looking for another monitor or in/out cable and hoping the problem is in one of those, but I'm the only person who doesn't use a laptop apparently.

It's sort of necessary for me to get on there for a lot if things though so I'm not just doing this for civ.

Jump King
Aug 10, 2011

The computer is working again, it was a problem with the video card.

I, uh, thiiiink it's good now. Call time in 1 hour and 25 minutes but I'll see what I can do.

Just realized I'm playing a desert civ on these map settings, :ghost:

Jump King
Aug 10, 2011

I would be very willing to start anew if there are problems considering that we haven't taken any turns. (and also my precious desert start :bahgawd:)

That said, if we want to keep going with this game I would not oppose that either!

Regardless, you shouldn't feel bad 100yrs!

Little Mac posted:

Not very versatile IMO but I guess I haven't played with them much

I think they're a lot more versatile than some other civs in that religion can help with a lot of different things and Ethiopia is guaranteed a religion. Their UA and UU allow you to put most of your efforts into non military things while still being able to survive combat. Hilariously enough, you can also use the UA bonus to attack a larger nation.

I'd like to form an alliance with somebody, I haven't played my first turn yet but I'm a desert dude who probably won't get a desert so I'll ally the first person to message me
