It's time for a SONM game of Civilization V! Read on for the info, then post here to sign-up/register your interest. (Please note that, unless we have a large number of people asking otherwise, we will be playing with the Brave New World expansion.)
We'll be playing...
Saturday 22nd August, Sunday 23rd August
and the evenings of the following week to finish
Game Rules
- Brave New World enabled
- Quick Game Speed
- Continents
- Hybrid Turns
- Quick Combat
- Quick Movement
- Complete Kills
(map size tba from number of sign-ups)
(number of AI (if any) tba)
House Rules
- Random civ choice
- Prince difficulty
- Subs allowed *
* Due to the length of Civ games (requiring multiple play sessions) and the difficulty of getting everyone playing to be online at the same time, we're going to be allowing people to substitute in and out if required or desired. So if you can only play the first session, for example, you can then be subbed out for another player who will take over your game. Alternatively you might only be able to play only part of a session before having to leave - in that situation someone can immediately take over for you. Hopefully this should mean that we will be able to play the game through, even with people having other commitments and time restraints. If it becomes impossible for everyone to play, even with subs, we will fall back on letting the AI control someone's civ.
Please bold any days you are only available in the evening, italicise any days you are only available in the morning, and strikethrough any days you can't do at all. We can then match up everyone's availabilities and hopefully find a few dates that can be set for the game.
I'd be down for this but I find that, and i'm sure you all do, the longer the game goes on the harder it hits your computers. And then once the disconnects start happening its all down hill. Will post dates shortly.
I'd be interested in this if I can make it. Though is having hybrid turns still up for debate because while the benefits are obvious it does mean that turns are going to take so so long, especially with presumably a very large number of players in the game and potential for multiple wars going on or wars involving more than just 2 civs at once.
Non-turn based combat in Civ is a horrible mess though, and basically breaks all strategy.

Your call at the end of the day but i'm just thinking in terms of wanting to get the game done in a reasonable timespan if we do go beyond the first session.
I'd like to be up for this but my internet does not like me playing Civ with other people.
<Kaeetayel> Go for a team entirely composed of Eeveelutions
<Princess> that's effort
<Princess> I need to buy the stones/go to rocks/make them happy/touch Eevee
<Kaeetayel> The last one doesn't sound too bad
Updated sign-ups and available dates. It looks like a good early block we could play a whole game during could be Sunday 9th followed by Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights (10, 11, 12) to play through until game finish.
Later in the month there is the weekend of the 23rd/24th followed by a whole week of evenings, which could work very well too.
What do people think? And of course more signups could change it too.
I don't really make plans so far in advance, so for the most part I have no idea what my availability is, other than those that aren't strikethrough. But otherwise yeah sure lets go.

22nd through to 28th looks like it could work out. That's basically a whole week.

Yeah, of course! Just editing in list of people now...
EDIT:
So, looks like we can settle on date(s) for this
Saturday 22nd August, Sunday 23rd August

So a few weeks away yet, but I'm sure it'll come quick!
There are currently 8 of us signed up, so that'll be a normal sized map I think? Unless we can fit 8 on small. Of course more sign-ups are still welcome!
