Civilization 5 TODAY! [Gods & Kings and Brave New World required!]

[Feloreena]

Hey everyone!

Me and Sataric would like to arrange a Civilization 5 gaming event for TBT (based on discussions in Adol the Red's thread about reviving the steam group). This will be a test run and if it's successful hopefully we can have a more regular event going.

We propose to start playing on Saturday 21st June at 20:00 GMT (so that's 15:00 EST) so that hopefully players from different timezones can still join in. We will be hosting a skype call that any players are welcome to join if they want, but it is not compulsory due to the nature of the game (PM me for skype details!). Alliances are allowed to be made, but there will only be ONE winner (so they would eventually have to be broken). We would like an even number of players based on the layout of the maps, so we are looking for 4+ players, but we can always make adjustments or exceptions if needed. We will be playing with the expansions Gods & Kings and Brave New World on, so these are ESSENTIAL!

Some proposed set-up rules are as follows:

• Turn timers and simultaneous turns will be on.
• Barbarians will be enabled.
• Randomly created map (Pangaea).
• No AI players.
• City States will be on.
• Game speed will be Quick.

I might have missed a few things, but please feel free to comment and discuss anything (and sign up of course ). Looking forward to see some of you join us!

I could maybe do it. I'd love to play some Civilization with some people here. Warning I'm not so great but I'm up for some fun. Here's my Steam Page.

I might be up for it, don't believe I have anything planned Saturday.

 

[Feloreena]

Added you both to the list, if anything changes just let me know.

Shouldn't you host a game without expansions? I'm sure plenty of people including myself won't have them.

Sadly I'm away on midsummer's crap during the weekend and probably week after so I won't be able to join Enjoy though!

Sorry to hear that - May the "Sm? grodorna" be with you this upcoming weekend. Try to have fun. If this is successful we'll definitely be playing again in the future, so you will get your chance to join in I'm sure!

Thank you, and I def. hope so, that game is so much fun to multi!

My bad, I thought that everyone who wanted to play had the expansions based on the response in the other thread, or that they would buy them when they were on sale for very cheap a few days ago. I personally think that Civ 5 without the expansions feels a bit like an unfinished game, and that Civ 4 is actually better than Civ 5 without expansions. If more people without the expansions want to join then of course something can be arranged, but I have to say that I wouldn't be particularly pumped about playing without them after getting so used to them now, they add so much to the game.

Sadly I'm away on midsummer's crap during the weekend and probably week after so I won't be able to join Enjoy though!

That's a shame, hope you can join us another time! Glad Midsommar!

I personally won't play a Civ V game without expansions.

 

[Sataric]

The expansions add a ton of depth to the game, and make it 10 times more fun. They are not super expensive either. Steam Summer Sale starts very soon as well. (Rumours say the 19th)

 

[Ashtot]

That's fine, I just won't play, have fun though!

 

[Sataric]

~@ Ashtot - If the Steam Summer Sales begin before saturday, then you might be able to get the expansion pack upgrade for just a few bucks. They are well worth it, honestly - If you enjoy the base game they will significantly improve your enjoyment of the game as a whole.

They were both on sale on GMG a few days ago for a few bucks as well, prime time to pick em! And yes, Steam Summer Sale starts the 19th, and I'm sure they will go on sale for SUPER CHEAP at some point during the sale.


I'm not sure what my schedule for Saturday looks like yet (might have to work) but for now sign me up. I got Civ 5 a loooong time ago, but never played it. This is also my first Civilization game, so everything is somewhat new. I have both expansions. There's a link to my Steam Profile in my signature.

 

[Alienfish]

Tbh I love how aggressive the AI is on congress if you go 4-5 or higher or you have ****ton of goldXD

 

[Nerd House]

Alright, I cleared off some space and got Civ V reinstalled, going to do a practice game or two to learn things.

 

[Feloreena]

Signed you up Adol the Red. I'll be adding people on Steam on Friday/Saturday, I'll probably send a PM to confirm numbers.

 

[Alienfish]

I'm so jelly right now I wish I was home ahaha.

 

[Nerd House]
