Civ 5 Multiplayer 6: There Can Be Only One. (G&K, BNW)
Welcome everybody to the completely-unneeded sixth Civ 5 multiplayer game on the forums.
For this game, instead of the usual earthlike worlds played in the other five matches, I'm looking to play on one of the region maps; specifically, the Highlands script. This is a highly mountainous map with four impassable edges, prone to creating chokepoints and enclosed valleys.
While I'm pretty set on playing Highlands, if enough interested players want to play another enclosed map, I wouldn't see any problem with that other than the ruining of my thread title. However, there's still room to vote on several world generation options for Highlands itself. Three settings control water and mountain placement:
Mountain Pattern: Ridgelines, Scattered, Ranges, Clustered
Mountain Density: Dense, Normal, Thin
Bodies of Water: Small Lakes, Large Lakes, Seas
Out of these, I would recommend Dense Ridgelines, as it makes for clearer valleys and ranges. I also like Seas for water for the extra layer of impassability, but it might be a tad excessive.
Spoiler: Screenshot: Dense Ridgelines:
Spoiler: Screenshot: Dense Ranges
If I recall correctly, both of those used Seas for the water option as well.
For Civ choice, I would advise not playing a Naval civ, due to the lack of an ocean, but of course anybody's welcome to play one, and would also discourage the Incas, as their unique trait would likely be a bit overpowered on this script. Players-wise, I'm looking for a maximum of eight.
As a last note, I will be playing Siam.
Current Choices:
Luzahn: Siam
OrcusMcP: Aztec
Closet Skeleton: Denmark (DLC)
Driderman: Unknown
Welovefireballs: Maya
Frog Dragon: Arabia
MeatShield: EthiopiaLast edited by Luzahn; 2014-06-14 at 06:16 AM.

ONCE MORE INTO THE BREACH, DEAR FRIENDS!
While I'm already in two games and am not sure how to get more slots, I could be down for this as Aztec. Dense ridge lines would be fine, and I'd prefer large lakes.So Much for the Glory of Rome, a Crusader Kings 2 Let's Play

It takes a five dollar donation to GMR to go from two slots to five. Bit of a shame, but it's a good little service.

OK, sweet, I'll get that sorted tonight. I'll let anyone who isn't in a game yet in ahead of me, but if you need to fill a slot, I'll be in as Aztec, as noted.

Re: Civ 5 Multiplayer 6: There Can Be Only One. (G&K, BNW)
Unless that naval civ is Carthage.
If everyone who signs up for this has the Denmark DLC, I will play as Denmark, suitability be [redacted]
I reckon someone should be allowed to play Incas. Then we let them grow big enough so that they don't feel picked on when everyone joins forces for a bite of their terrace farms.Last edited by Closet_Skeleton; 2014-06-13 at 08:54 AM.

Re: Civ 5 Multiplayer 6: There Can Be Only One. (G&K, BNW)
Well, all the more reason to vote for Seas. Start near a decent one and you can be a pretty ok amphibious force.
I'm not disqualifying the Inca, but I would hope that a newer player took them as a nice sort of equalizer.Last edited by Luzahn; 2014-06-13 at 08:55 AM.

Re: Civ 5 Multiplayer 6: There Can Be Only One. (G&K, BNW)
Dense ridge lines with seas is insane. Testing it out in the world builder, one corner is accessable only via a hilly pass and two of the others can only be accessed via the water and again one of those is through a one tile gap.
Someone is going to have to play Carthage, just to keep everyone else on their toes."that nighted, penguin-fringed abyss" - At The Mountains of Madness, H.P. Lovecraft

Re: Civ 5 Multiplayer 6: There Can Be Only One. (G&K, BNW)
Actually, thinking about it, Polynesia could be potent on this kind of map as well! Harsh chokepoints mean that moais and upgraded maori warriors will give serious combat advantage in those points. But yes, someone should be playing Carthage for wild-card purposes.
If we are going to ban Inca, is there anyway to keep Mt. Kilimanjaro from being in the game as well?So Much for the Glory of Rome, a Crusader Kings 2 Let's Play

Naah. If we manage to get Kilimanjaro, we'll just have an eternal war to secure it from everybody else.

Re: Civ 5 Multiplayer 6: There Can Be Only One. (G&K, BNW)
Hey, I'm interested in joining one of these. (I read a decent amount of the first one and it seems too awesome to not give it a try).
I would like to play the great and enduring lord of the Maya, Pacal. Rebuilder of Palanaque and your future president (until 2012 of course). I'm not especially good at the game but I'll give it my best shot!The rules of the game are only what the current participants agree they should be, remember this. The rulebook for whatever you play are only suggestions.
Currently playing as the Maya in GMR game #6.

I'll bite, why not. Never really played any of these more gimmicky maps, and it sounds like it'd be fun to try. Just not with Indonesia.
I shall be playing Harun Al-Rashid of Arabia.

Re: Civ 5 Multiplayer 6: There Can Be Only One. (G&K, BNW)
I too would be interested in this, if you have enough room. I've never done any of the non Earth-like maps, so this should be interesting to see.
I (hopefully) shall be Haile Selassie of Ethiopia.
Edit: I do not have the Denmark DLC. Would I still be able to play a game against someone who does have it? Or do I have to get it in order to play? (I'm willing to get it, I'm just curious.)Last edited by MeatShield#236; 2014-06-13 at 10:30 PM.

Re: Civ 5 Multiplayer 6: There Can Be Only One. (G&K, BNW)
You would have to buy it or not. Do you have Inca either?
If you could play against DLC Civs without the DLC then they wouldn't be banned all the time.Last edited by Closet_Skeleton; 2014-06-14 at 03:23 AM.

Denmark's a fun one, but you shouldn't feel compelled to get it. Skeleton, would you be ok with playing something else if Meatshield doesn't wind up purchasing it?

Of course, I could go with anyone. As long as they're not Iberian, that random pick in the second game annoyed me.

Re: Civ 5 Multiplayer 6: There Can Be Only One. (G&K, BNW)
This sounds fun... I'm not really familiar with gmr though(only started civ 5 a few days ago), how do I play?
For nation.. I'll have to think about it a little.
Shoshone perhaps?Meow(Steam page)

That's the Giant Multiplayer Robot website. You can sign in with your steam account, but it does require its own password so no-one else can play your turns.
There's also the application that actually passes the save around. You'll need to download that but it's pretty simple to use.
Also, video tutorial. I thought it was pretty helpful.

Re: Civ 5 Multiplayer 6: There Can Be Only One. (G&K, BNW)
I've put myself down as denmark for now. If that causes problems don't start until I've changed it to Carthage. I'm voting for seas obviously. Maybe cool as well but that might be a bit unfair. Just anything but hot.
The Shoshone like having lots of space, highlands doesn't give you that, so I'm not sure they're the best choice. On the other hand they are powerful enough to not need to worry too much.
But if you're a complete novice you could be the one we let play Inca (assuming everyone has that DLC)Last edited by Closet_Skeleton; 2014-06-14 at 07:47 AM.

If Meatshield doesn't have Inca either then they're not an option.

The Inca advantage in highlands basically comes down to free roads everywhere and over 9000 bonus food because Terrace Farm kicks ass when there are mountains everywhere.
