OK. So Civ 6 will be out in a few days. The strategy sub-forum is now online. We can be sure there will be some Deity Challenge for Civ6 sooner rather than later, as well as Game of the Month and Hall of Fame so we non-top players should better get ready for those
If people are interested i plan to create a few games as a Training series similar to how Deity (and Immortal) Challenges works for CiV. I would submit a map every 2 weeks,we could all play sharing strategies and what works or doesn't work. Unlike the other series, this one won't be on a fixed difficulty but rather increase as time passes and we become better. Hopefully by the time one of the really good player starts a Deity Challenge we might know enough to participate without being utterly crushed.
So, are you guys (and girls maybe?) interested or is too early to start something like this and you prefer to explore on your own for some time? What difficulty would you like to start at? Do you have a favorite civ you really want to start with?
As for myself, i was planning to make the first game at Emperor cause from the streams it looks like Prince will pose no challenge to anyone familiar with any previous Civ game. Similarly, i suspect King would be really easy for veterans but if you don't feel comfortable starting with Emperor i'm OK for one game at king. I would go with Rome as civilization because they have a mix of abilities that will obviously lead to a robust start, opening the path to any victory. I could take another civilization but i would like to avoid one that's very specialized towards a single victory (or worse, forbids one like Kongo) as i plan to keep at least the first games open to any victory condition. I will definitely not put Aztecs in before 3 months after release when they become available to everyone.
