Welcome to the Wintreath Civilization V topic! If you enjoy playing Civ and would like to have a fun time with your region-mates, consider joining in on a game. Our games are very social and casual, and they're a good way to get to know other people in the community while putting your strategic skills on display! You can find information about our games below. I hope you decide to join in on one!

How can I join? To join in our games, simply post that you will be available at the time the game is scheduled so we know to include you. We play our Civilization games over Steam, meaning that you will need to have Civ V on Steam and be willing to include me (and potentially other hosts) as a friend so that you can receive the game invites. My Steam is winterm00t (my avatar is a yellow sign), and other hosts will post there's as they need to.

What expansions do I need? The Gods & Kings and Brave New World expansions are required to play in our games. Having the other DLC is encouraged but not required. If someone without a DLC plays we will avoid using Civilizations from that DLC to allow them to play with us.

How long are games? Games usually take at least three hours to complete. If enough people have to leave a game early, it may be decided to stop and base the winner on the amount of points earned at that point. Also, hosts may choose to enable a turn timer to keep games running at a good pace, especially if the game includes players that have historically slowed down games.

When are games scheduled? Regular games are usually held at some point on weekends when the most people are available, but anybody can use this topic to attempt to schedule a game anytime. We can also discuss the details and settings of the game beforehand here!

Sorry for all the posts. I wanted to make a new Civ V topic that's neat and organized for new people so I can add it to the new gaming menu that's part of the new header. I hope it'll make our games more visible and open.

General information about the next game is in the post above, along with status of players and planned map settings. Please feel free to discuss as we have in the other topic before.

Also, invites to @Chanku, @Hugsim, @Joshua Bluteisen, and @Reon.

Thanks for letting me know. I've moved you to the probably playing group.

Can you put me down as a maybe and I think you should turn off disable start bias and raging barbarians...

I might join, however I do have a few suggestions to change in the Settings.

The only one that I will essentially refuse to play is if Raging Barbarians is On. Barbarians are only an annoyance.

All they do is make the game more challenging...;-; They're even good under certain circumstances, especially if you invest in the Honor tree!

They are an annoyance...

But think about it...what if you get placed between an ocean and mountains, and don't have to deal with them...but your opponents do.

The start bias should really be a no... It hurts some Civs way more than others not to have the start bias and it makes some much much much harder to play, especially if you get something particularly non-advantageous...

But most people don't play those civs, and I hate starting in the desert ;-;

That ain't even true... A lot of the Civs are like that... It makes the playing ground way more even for the civs...
