Hi everyone, What kind of games do you guys play in CIV nowadays? I was thinking about starting to play again because this is such a great game but I don't think I'll come to the MP community if it's still ancient games where you fall asleep before your first worker is done So, are there guys who play later eras/epics frequently?

Actually, it's quite a lot more complicated than that I think I tried for a year and a half with mild success I was always told to give people time and they would start playing other game types as well Well time has certainly passed by but I don't think much has changed

Its really basically 4 game types that I see that make up about 90% of the games:
1- anc tbg start seperated teamers 2- OCC ren 3- CTON 4- ren teamers on inland sea
analysis: you are right- not much has changed-- however these types of games are popular because they can be played on a blazing (for the most part) timer
Most ( or maybe just me) can't even come close to try and play a future or modern match on blazing

Hey ICBM, there's actually a little bit more variety in games being played other than those mentioned above. If you haven't tried it yet, the Final Frontier mod (which comes standard with all BTS games - no mod download needed) is being played quite frequently in certain circles. Its game flow is quite fast-paced as you're able to build long-range moving units pretty early in the game.
Another option for those who are bored with slow paced games is the UltraQuickMod. UQC changes the game speed setting so that you are able to go from ancient to modern in less than 130 turns.
Some people are actually playing... (are you ready for this?) NON-CTON games, true FFA's! The anonymous player option makes this one fun cuz you don't necessarily have to go to war instantly and can instead plan your devious dealings while appearing to be a nice guy!
Anyway, if you're bored of the same old games, try hosting something different. Make the settings and rules clear and I'm sure you'll attract other folks who are bored of the same old same old.

I thought Medi teamers was more frekvent than Ren's, but maby that has changed back. If y prefer starting with worker, most wont object to a Class cton.
The problem is not the age, but noone wants to pick anymore !! If you try hosting pick, noone wants to be caps.

I just played a 3v3 medieval which was quite fun though the game suffered from severe technical issues due to bad connection(s). Playing 2v2s and 3v3s helps a lot when trying to play a fluent game and I wish ppl would start playing more of those. Also less waiting and more games

Also less waiting and more games I'm sick of being the only active FIN player on the ladder in CIV4, we had a clan of 10+ FIN players on CIV3, come back to play you bastard. Help me out a bit! And I'll always play with you any era/map/gametype... except OCC and quick civ or whatever that nuts is

Nice to see you around ICBM, long itme no see and all that.
I'm not playing much at the moment, but I'm sure people are still in love with 5v5 tbg ancient shuffle.
I play all eras, but what with work and life I am not playing as much outside of the CCC weekend.
