    Default Civ 5 Mutliplayer 13? Highlands 2, Ground type boogaloo (Recruiting)

    So the previous highlands game died. And I thought that was a shame.

    So clearly it's my job to make a new one.

    So first things first. What this game would entail.

    Use of the GMR (Of course)
    6 to up to 12 players.
    Highlands.
    You can vote for additional options
    Spoiler: additional options shamelessly copied and pasted from the first one
    Show

    Mountain Pattern: Ridgelines, Scattered, Ranges, Clustered

    Mountain Density: Dense, Normal, Thin

    Bodies of Water: Small Lakes, Large Lakes, Seas

    Quick speed.
    All victory types.

    Inca's and other naval civilization's discouraged.


    I call Shoshone.

    So who wants to join?

    Color me interested.

    Can I draw a random civ, or do I need to choose?

    Er, can't say I know what Highlands is, but I've been playing Civs ever since it came with a manual larger than some textbooks.

    Would probably be interested as Babylonian.

    Normal ranges and large lakes would be my vote.

    Also, Necroticplague, it's possible that not everyone playing has all the DLC, so you might not be able to play Babylon. May want to have a backup, just in case.

    I'll take Zulu.

    It's not your turn yet, when it is, you'll be able to download a save, then place it in Saves, under the hotseat file, then load it up under mutliplayer hotseat, play to the end of the turn, when you end turn it'll prompt you to save, do so, then upload that to GMR.

    Alternatively, you can get the GMR program that'll prompt you when it's your turn (as long as the program is on) and will put the files into your Saves and will upload it for you when you complete the appropriate turn.

    Is there even any point in these? Does anyone care to read about other people's exploits?

    In any case, meet Moscow:


    I almost moved south for ocean access before I noticed it's a lake and not a bay. With all those farmable hills Moscow is going to be an absolute production powerhouse. I only hope there are some strategic resources that I can exploit around here.

    Not the greatest start location, at least to start, but will be quite good going forward. 2 Deer and a Wheat combined with the lakes will be good for food growth, with some nice looking Copper mines, hills and forest for production. We will see what else is around me.

    The Shoshone people have only known the frost. The icy cold that'll kill a man in mintues. Our frost was a harsh mistress. But we preserved, and found the great plains.



    We learned Farming, and will focus on cultivating these nice smelling plants.



    The capital. Three spots of incense, and Marble.

    The Maya, after some searching for the ideal plot of land, have settled the city of Palenque next to a mountain in the hopes that the high places will enable a better view of the world.

    (Hopefully, this won't be as terrible a starting location as my other GMR games have given me...)

    Plans for the early game: build two scouts, especially because of the map type; rush Pottery and Theology and hope to found a religion; go full Liberty for the free Great Person.

    Our Pathfinder's scour the world for other tribes of people.



    We send more people to check out the lands further away from the frost.



    Our previous Pathfinder's had figured out the secrets of Mining, from the ruins of the last Nuclear winter.



    Our government has no form.



    Best in Population, and land. Worst in soldiers.



    The city of Moson Kahni.


    Any spectator comments?
