Archipelago FFA no mods (e5f47d72)

Everything is fine here.

Except that I would vote for a maximum possible draft. If we can make a 4 civ draft, I would choose it. If not possible after bans, 3 civ draft then.

Let’s draft, 7 players will be fine :slight_smile: Faster turns and more space ^^

OK, based on feedback here we’ll go the non-naval route using the banned-civs list above. Will have the drafter provide as many civs on each player’s list as possible (within the constraint that each player gets an equal number of choices – prob 3 or 4). Will wait a bit on an 8th player, as voting is tied on that question – if you know someone who’d be interested in the game, encourage them to join.

Hello guys! Just googled for Civ6 pbc games and find this eventually. So dared to join your upcoming game if you don’t mind =) I didn’t play pydt before but got the general idea and exciting to give a try. I have Rise&Fall, Gatherming Storm and (i think) some other addons, but not most of the new dlc civs.

Okay thank you for joining @kennya now we are at 8 players and can continue to setting up the game. Seems like the host wrote to the game description that they’re happy to disable any DLCs people don’t own, so could you check which DLC civs you don’t have, so we can take that into account while doing the draft?

Welcome Kennya.

PYDT is a game changer for me: You can play up to 12 player games with humans and no need to find a day and get lag. PYDT is near perfect. The real problem is that you can’t make 16 players games! :smiley:

Why don’t you list the dlcs you have, that’ll prob be easier than listing the ones you don’t have :slight_smile: I’ll turn off the dlcs in the game setup that aren’t shared by all

I think I have them all, including the version of Caesar (?) you get from linking your account.

I own everything so no need to worry about mine. I believe I also have Caesar from connecting my account

DLC list that i have, from steam:

  • Australia
  • Aztec
  • Digital Deluxe Extras (no clue)
  • Khmer and Indonesia
  • Nubia
  • Persia and Macedon
  • Poland
  • Vikings
  • Gathering Storm
  • Rise and Fall

no Ceaser and other dlc civs.

Also i thought it is possible to play with other player having DLC civ which you don’t own, am i wrong?..

I think you are right about being able to play with others that have the DLC, but probably it is only in live/real-time games?

That seems like a good amount of DLCs to me, but let’s see what others think.

I think that’s fine :slightly_smiling_face:


available for me in single player, 46 total

Still, i had a cloud game once (not as host) including bot Catherine de Medici (Magnificence), which i cannot select for myself. So maybe larger civs/leaders pool is possible for other players to choose from, dunno :slightly_smiling_face: Othwerwise, these 46 minus naval civs it seems…

You can definitely play in hotseat games with other players with more DLC than you have, but in my experience if the game is set up with particular DLC activated that you don’t have you won’t be able to load the turn files. This doesn’t apply to map DLCs, as they’re only used on initial game setup. What I’ll do (assuming everyone else has all these DLC, which I think is a safe assumption) is I’ll uncheck everything I have that you don’t, so this game won’t call for anything you’re missing.

Draft results after reordering players for playing time:


Make your picks by selecting the relevant civ on the game page

Maybe we should reroll and delete Pedro II that have a special naval unit.

If no reroll, I am going for Pedro II (not for the unit but because I don’t like my other choices)

oops looks like we missed Brazil on the original ban list, I’ll reroll now … apologies all!

rerolled draft, with Brazil banned as well:


please select from these options everyone

Should Hojo be banned as well, as even tho he doesn’t have an unique naval unit, he does have a coastal bonus?
