12 city states
Europe
Standard Map Size
Standard Game Pace
Ancient Era

Domination and Science victory

All DLC allowed

Does that sound good to you? Well then sign up. The Royal Rumble will begin in t minus fuck you, i.e. we will debate about a time suitable for all of us and then play until only one is left.

I will be bringing a friend of mine along, his name is Jordan and some of you already know him. Either way, this will be an "Everyone against Everyone" game - and although Jordan is my friend, he's a dick who will kill me anyways.

I don't have the newest expansion pack, I only have Gods and Kings. So unless one of you wants to join without Gods and Kings, this game will be played with the Gods and Kings expansion. I don't mind either way, to be honest.

Please post if you'd like to participate (I'm looking at you here, blu and rtil). We'll get down details of when the game shall be played later.

Oh that's fine. We can schedule around it, since this event is mainly for the purpose of me beating your butt and becoming the new leader of TBA.

well.. you just missed a huge sale for it. right now the base game is $30. $50 for the gold edition, which would get you the current expansion + all the dlc (extra civs, scenarios)

I already have the game and all DLC. I was talking about the pot. This WILL be a high-stakes-winner-take-all money match...right? You mean you guys don't regularly gamble away enough money to feed an entire Ethiopian village for six months like irresponsible manchildren?

Yeah not that great of a joke I guess.

rtil · June 26, 2013 02:36 AM

i'll put up 10 of my korean sweatshop animators

psi43 · June 26, 2013 08:06 AM

Alright, folks and folkettes, there now is a price.

I have a spare key for Little Inferno on Steam, so whoever wins this Battle Royal shall receive that key and 10 Pizza Points, sponsored by rtil and Allie, your friendly neighborhood digital pizza service!

stream it for sure

If remember, there's a setting that causes the world to generate with resources/terrain relevant to your Civ. Can we play with that? I like playing as the Aztecs and I'd hate to get stuck without a jungle in sight.

pretty sure that's a default "on" option when setting up an MP game. it's called "biased start" or something.

Ah, good.

Any consensus on when we'll be starting? I'll be out of town until Sunday.

We won't start until you're back, then. I'd like to have as many people as possible playing, hah.

What about the 7th of July?

rtil · June 27, 2013 02:55 AM

that will work for me
