Ah, the Civ-Virus—classic! Civ V has that way of pulling you back in, doesn’t it? Joining a PitBoss (Persistent Turn-Based Server) game is a fantastic way to keep the strategy alive without rushing turns. It’s great for balancing your obsession with real life.
To find a game or set one up:
Check Civ forums: Communities like CivFanatics or the Civilization subreddit often have active threads for PitBoss games.
Discord servers: Many Civilization-focused Discord communities coordinate PitBoss games regularly. It’s worth scouting around to find one that fits your preferred pace.
Host one yourself: If you don’t see any active PitBoss games, why not create one? Post the details (game settings, mods, and turn timer) in forums or Discord, and you’ll likely gather enough players.
Ah, the Civ-Virus strikes again! It's hard to resist the allure of another game of Civilization. For those who don’t know, PitBoss (Persistent Turn-Based Server) games allow players to engage in multiplayer matches at their own pace, making it perfect for those epic, sprawling sessions where real-time play isn’t feasible. Finding or Starting a New PitBoss Game
Check Civilization Multiplayer Communities:
Visit CivFanatics Forums or Reddit's /r/civ subreddit. These are active hubs for players looking for PitBoss matches. You'll often find threads specifically for recruiting players.
Steam forums for Civilization V or VI also occasionally feature PitBoss recruitment threads.
Host a Game:
If you’re comfortable hosting, set up a PitBoss server yourself! Announce it in these communities and invite players.
Be clear about:
Game version (e.g., Civ V with or without expansions/mods like BNW or G&K).
Turn timer settings.
Map type and size.
Rules or preferences (e.g., no early war, certain victory conditions, etc.).
Join Discord Groups:
Many Civilization players use Discord to organize games. Look for Civ-specific servers like Civ Players League or No Quitters.
Game Settings to Consider:
Simultaneous Turns: Often preferred to speed up gameplay.
AI Handling: Decide if AI takes over for disconnected players.
Turn Timers: A timer keeps the game moving but requires consistent player availability.
Alternative Platforms:
If PitBoss isn’t feasible, consider using tools like Play by Cloud (introduced in Civ VI), which serves a similar purpose with less setup complexity.
