Thanks for taking us out! I feel the same. I have volunteered to help with Civ5 GotM, so that should keep me busy!

Very much a different genre, but I thought I would take the liberty to start this thread for Car Wars Sixth Edition (CW6e). This brand new version was launched via Kickstarter two years ago, and the initial fulfillment shipments have just started arriving. CW6e products are newly available for...

Greetings friends. I have agreed to host Civ5 GotM, giving @Knowtalent more time to focus on Civ6 GotM. Thank you @Knowtalent for the many hours of excellent maps you have provided us! Please be encouraged to post to this thread about what you are looking for! I will bring back (and...

I really appreciate seeing Polynesia Deity CV challenge with a nice craggy start! Thanks! SIP, Warrior, Shrine, Warrior x2. Then 3x Settlers for usual Tradition opening. But I so like the Polynesia early game, with easy Worker steals from an AI or two, and early circumnavigation. So much to...

Thank you for your patience with my round of turns. Portugal Honor-Commerce-Autocracy is compelling. I would vote we hand pick our opponents to avoid ancient/classic civs (just for the RP value). A TSL map would also be a preference of mine. I also favor more restrictive rules. The only...

Oh my gosh what a fun game, what with GBR, but so frustrating at the end! I had every intention of playing nice. But I was the only Freedom civ, and the AIs hate that of course. Yes, I cleared the continent, but I swear, they made me. T290 Haile DOWs. He has two cities. What does he think...

Looking very good @fiddlesticks!

Very nice!

@TheGuineaPig — Are you saying that the GG will spawn in the city where the unit (which triggered the GG spawn) was originally built? That is remarkable insight! It is a pattern that I never picked up on, and it makes sense. It also fits the game thematically. Very nice! Also, I love...

War is going well. No casualties. T225 Nebuchadnezzar builds Cristo Redentor sell Shaka OB for Iron Sidon at 85% coup chance and vote next turn, so I risk that (success); gift Sidon our novice Pike for 10 more influence WF looking good, but cities do not have anything lined up for overflow...

Working on my turns now. Probably won’t get done before diner. I see one Scout died on T211. We still have one. What happened to the other? I do not plan to DOW Ahmad. I was hoping for a couple more Artillery for my turn. I had meant to include the “no DOWS just for money” with the broken...

Looking good! I will play my round tonight. SV, but try and clear the continent first, yes? Here is my proposal of our rules for the next game: Limited Bees: One DoW bribe allowed per era. DoW bribes must be paid in full (e.g., no DoWing to break the bribe deal). One GS bulb allowed per...

Also this map, such difficult/delicious choices T0! I had hoped moving the Warrior might provide me some clarity, but no. I went for the desert river hill on mountain. Which is fantastic, but that meant passing on the grassland stone and a sheep!

I am trying this map next since @Tiberiu recently tweaked my interest in the UU. I want to see what early mayhem I might get into! Thank you again @Nizef for keeping this thread going!

FT and GA is fine with me. I had been thinking that by clearing the continent, it would be no problem to theme any GW buildings from captures. So no good reason not to gift away GA for the UA. But Delhi has Uffizi. That takes 3 GA, all from the same era and civ. If we don’t save our GA for...
