Thanks for making this great program! Is there any way to resign from a game before your turn? I'm tired of two of these hanging out for days with no one taking a turn - in fact not even sure I've actually gotten to my turn on either one.
You're so welcome! I'm sorry that a couple of the games have kind of died. You surrender from a game at any time by going to it's details page. Just go to 'My Games' and click on the name of the game. You should then see a 'Surrender' button that will remove you from the game and replace you with AI.
So far the GMR experience has been an interesting one. It seems like large public games don't really work since all it takes is one player to stall the whole thing. However it could just be that some of these people were only jumping into games to see what the system was like and then they never came back. I've actually forced a couple people to surrender from "Civ Fanatics" and "Let's Play Civ V!" in an effort to get the game moving.
Perhaps as our community of players refines itself to those who are truly interested in playing this won't be a problem. But as it is now pre-designed games seem to be the ones that actually keep moving.
