I put together a very extensive spoiler thread while playing (linked above), and I'm mostly going to use those turn reports to write this summary for the website. We also decided to play the match with Barbarians and Tribal Villages both turned off, to reduce the random elements in the gameplay. This would give me some significant advantages and factor into my planning for the game. We would be playing on the 4-Leaf Clover map script, one that I did some test games on before starting and discovered that it has very little variation in terms of how it sets up the map and civs. There's no limit to the number of duplicate leaders and civs on the setup screen, although Civ6 does not have an 'Unrestricted Leaders' option in the same fashion as Civ4. And yes, we had a mirror match between two Roman civs, which fortunately Civ6 does allow. I listed the players above in turn order, with teh going first and passing the save on to TheArchduke, and so on until I played the last turn in each set. This Play By Email (PBEM) game would be contested between myself, TheArchduke, teh, and Yuris. Unfortunately this map script can only be run with four total players, and that meant that someone had to drop out, with Rowain very kindly agreeing that he would let the other four of us take part in the game.

Those of us who signed up for the game discussed settings, and ultimately decided on using the 4-Leaf Clover map script. My hope was that I could both play a fun game and reignite interest in Civ6 at the same time. Without some kind of action, it looked to me like Civ6 was going to suffer the same fate as Civ5 in our community, and be largely ignored by more than a handful of individuals. There continued to be relatively little interest in Civ6 at this point in time, which would be highlighted a few weeks later when our Epic Two event ended up getting only a single submission. I had two motivations here: one was the simple desire to play a competitive game of Civilization against other humans once again, and the second was the desire to spark more interest in Civ6 among the wider community. After thinking it over, I decided that I would toss my hat into the ring and enter this game.
