Civers unite!!!!

[AngryPidgeon]

Well I've only done multiplayer before, this was my first pass at single player. Which I might use that option in the future.

[Sudo_Nym]

It's been my experience that multiplayer is mostly won via domination, but I haven't played a ton.

[AngryPidgeon]

According to my friends, Science victory is the most common. But I have to imagine that has a lot to do with their personalities and likely being timid about early military use.

I am almost certianly going to suck at multiplayer, my understanding of the game is naive at best

I play on prince and have difficulty winning that much of the time

[Maruchan]

I want to do multiplayer, whenzit happenin?

[Maruchan]

If you find games take too long, why not go for the quick option regarding turns for research etc? Although I think it makes tourism even harder.

i always do quick turns games, and set settings to shortest games possible. still usually takes 5+ hours. trololololol

I agree with and represent all of these things

[quadz08]

Oh, I usually play on standard length - I think it's more fun / it's what I'm used to (I've been playing Civ for probably about 10 years now)

Steamroll the celts.
Or just really make the world hate them diplomatically.

[AngryPidgeon]

Is there a list of everyone's steam IDs?

I could be up for a game this weekend. If you guys are serious, let me know when you are free and we should share relevant contact info.

Managed to avoid losing on Diplomacy in my game. I'm 4/5 the way to a culture victory, just the celts remaining. I can also build rocket parts now as a contingency plan. It looks like the game might just reach the 2050 deadline though which I think I'd win but that would be a hollow victory >.>

[Nexus]

Just kill the Celts' capital, which would have all their culture buildings in, and you should be fine to win...

[Maestro]

hollow victory >.>

this is why I turn off time, but maybe I'm biased
I'm in a Quick Turns game and it's 2020 and NOBODY's gotten Apollo yet

[AngryPidgeon]

I won my game with a hollow victory

I think I learned a fair amount though.

[Maestro]

Thank you for reminding me to finish my Ramesses II Science / Cultural fiesta!

Anybody else ever have an AI game where 3 Civs ally with eachother and the other 3 do the same? Friends, Pacts, Research - the whole shebang. I got lucky with Hiawatha and Harun and the other "team" is Theodora, Gandhi, and Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden. Nobody attacked anybody until after 2000 except me. I had a little skirmish with Theodora to prevent her settling an island with 4 Pearls and 6 Iron, and tried to sue for peace right after I took it but she wouldn't bite. A couple turns go by and she begs for peace by throwing one of her cities at me when I hadn't even moved military units anywhere near her other than to take the Settler she'd sent out...

Considering redownloading Civ V. Such a great game, but it takes so much time to play

Is there a way to have a game between long distance players where the turns are drawn out, e.g. like an online chess game / words with friends? Like everyone has a day to take their turn

[Maestro]

Pitboss was their attempt at doing that, but I'm pretty sure you must be logged into Steam and (maybe?) playing Civ V for the entire length of time to be notified that it's your turn, etc. also I would assume it makes War... undesirable...?

[Aeronaut]

We should set up a tim for all of us to play some weekend though. That'd be real cool.

More suprises

[tn5421]

Have any of you guys heard of Giant Multiplayer Robot?

[wgeurts]

We could host a private pitboss server and make it that it emails you on turn start.

[Nexus]

Won't that mean the game will take forever to play?

[wgeurts]

Yeah, but better than no game.
Aren't we used to mafia though and long games?
