Normal games allow for the full flexibility of setting up a Civ-game. Playing Multiplayer Civ5 Games is awesome! That’s why I joined more games: I’m now playing an average of 2 turns per day with my 13 games. If all players take roughly one day per turn, I get to play around 1 turn per week. My 13 games have 109 participants in total of which 100 are active players (if a player leaves, that slot is taken by the AI until the game is paused or the slot is filled again). Some games have up to 12 players, others have only 4. 24 hours often are a close call when incorporating all time zones.

You get up, go to work, run some errands and it might not be until late in the evening you get to it again. Now soon after, while you’re off to bed, these folks play their turns and it’s your turn again. Why such a long time? Imagine you’re living Europe and are playing with players from North America: You’ll be playing your turn ~9 PM, which is still early over there. Sounds like a lot? Let me explain why it isn’t:įirst and foremost it’s asynchronous play with most games having a turn timer of usually at least 36 hours. Over the course of 2020 so far I have engaged in several games. do not like the clickfest of the simultaneous turns that dominates the online MP have unstable/slow connections that will make them get kicked from online MP games and/orģ.

One of the volunteer-admins introduces GMR on CivFanatics like this: As this happens, Giant Multiplayer Robot can send you notifications for when it’s your turn via the website, email, and/or our desktop app. Giant Multiplayer Robot is a multiplayer service for Sid Meier’s Civilization V which handles passing your games’ save files from player to player. Here’s how GMR, Giant Multiplayer Robot, introduces itself on its site: It’s also completely free for some casual games, while a really small fee removes your game-limit entirely allowing for an unlimited number of parallel games. Only without the hassle of actually sending emails but with a neat Steam integration instead. It’s great! Imagine it like playing Hot Seat games with sending your savegame by email to the next player. Earlier this year I’ve entered a completely new era of my Civilization V passion: Asynchronous Multiplayer games with the Giant Multiplayer Robot.
