Civ V Multiplayer! Probing for potential shenanigans
« on: August 09, 2013, 05:23:52 PM »

Since the steam sales that ended quite a while ago had it at a very good price, I'm guessing quite a number of folks here have bought Civ V. Now I'm wondering how many of those same folks will be wanting to play in a multiplayer game with fellow forumites.

At the moment, I'm just looking for people who would be interested in joining in a game, and then going from that to determine how to go about the size of the game and all that stuff. Expansions and DLCs aren't a limitation for me, since I've bought all that stuff. Also if this does get to the stage where we're going to have a game being set up, I think reserving civs will be the best way to go about it, just to smooth out the process of game setup, etc. In fact, it might be a good idea to state your preference right off, just because why not :P

I've got Steam, but I don't have Civ 5. Wish I had it though. >.>

I'll play. I don't have the newest expansion, but I can pick it up if need be.

Oh, and I enjoy the Japanese.

I play Casimir III in Brave New World, would pick Nebby if I could and am currently exploring other civs. I only really enjoy playing massive game worlds (IE 1:1 scale of Earth with 22 civs etc.)

I probably will go with a huge continental map with 20 civs. Although I'm not really expecting to get 20 people for that, even 5-6 would be fine to shake things up a bit

Well, right now I'm just seeing what kind of numbers we could get. As for expansions... I would prefer everything, but I know that won't be likely. Hopefully DLC civs still allow for non-expansion/DLC players

Pretty much. Maybe some kind soul in one of my groups will gift it to me.
