I would be thoroughly offended if I were you OJsDad! That Barthheart is liberally throwing around orders to 'Shut up!' Regardless of who it is directed at! Heathen scientist run amok!!!

I live in NW Ohio. We're used to dealing with low browed Canuks ;)

Who youts callin low brow?!?

The reason I inquired about the AI taking over is that I'm a doc, and I worry I will get called away in the middle of a game and screw over the other five or so gents who rearranged their lives to play that night.

Yes, Freyland, the AI does take over. Even in midgame if we have to. That's another thing to test, just to make sure.

@Millipede: Got your Steam invite. Reciprocated

@Tuna: Either 8 or 9 EST is fine by me.

If you are for tonight, sound off in here and I will ping you on Steam, too, right now.

Barthheart · December 19, 2015, 06:56:40 PM

I'm in fer 8.

Millipede · December 19, 2015, 06:59:06 PM

I've been told that I'm easy... whatever works for everyone else, works for me

MetalDog · December 19, 2015, 07:01:46 PM

Excellent. That's four for 8. Now all we need is jamus34.

Freyland · December 19, 2015, 07:19:29 PM

How long are we playing?

jamus34 · December 19, 2015, 07:27:01 PM

I'm up for 8.

Is there a turn timer?

MetalDog · December 19, 2015, 07:30:22 PM

@Freyland: Until someone has to go

@jamus34: There is, but, unless you deem it necessary, there really isn't a need.

Are we talking using Steam voice chat?

Millipede · December 19, 2015, 07:40:13 PM

As I've mentioned... multiplayer is a new experience for me. Not just Civ but anything. I'm confident I can figure out the basics but any tips/suggestions so that I don't drag the game down would be appreciated. For example, I see that there is a "group" option with the Steam Friends list. Is that something desirable?

You can join the GrogHeads Group, Millipede. Should be able to find it through my Steam profile. And don't worry about holding things up. Take your time and be comfortable with the moves you are making before you hit Enter.

@Barthheart: I hear you, funny guy :P
