• The CPL Challenger Series is upon us! Stop by the CivPlayers League as we’ll have every match streamed! 19:54

• New player to Civplayers League? How do they feel joining the league?29:54

• What civilizations are you hoping to see in the coming weeks? Which ones do you expect? Which civ do you think will get the 2nd leader?

• With the coming of an expansion usually means lots of changes. What new things are you hoping to see added to the game that weren’t? What bugs do you hope to see fixed? 47:35

One More Turn, The Sixth and Final Season: 19 Episodes in 2018

One More Turn The cast and crew of the [url=http://onemoreturn.net]dramedy podcast series[/url] [u]One More Turn[/u] ([u]OMT[/u]) are breaking their silence. Their plan was to publish the show’s sixth season, thirteen episodes in length, in 2017 — that plan has changed. Instead, it will be published in 2018 and extended to nineteen episodes. The reasoning behind this is in reflection of the difficult part of its delayed release: the show’s sixth season is to be its last.

Join [u]One More Turn[/u] as its geeks dealing with non-geeky problems take their final turns.

Civilization Players Civ6 Podcast #12 Civ6 Rise and Fall!

By | December 2, 2017
0 Comment

This past Friday, Dec 1st at 9 PM EST was the 12th CivPlayers League Podcast. Here’s what we talked about in the past  week!

Co-Hosts Sarnith and KingLewie, and guest Co-Host Harambe, BladeSe7en and Roven, bring you this weeks topics.

• The Expansion has been announced! Will it fix problems, or just create more? Tell us what you expect!

• The CPL Challenger Series is upon us! 8 Players have signed up to duke it out on balanced maps to establish dominance. 1:35:30

• God of the Forge as a pantheon is being revisited!? It’s been default banned with a vote to allow it, but now people are saying it’s not a big deal – What do YOU think? 1:16:40

• Siege units such as the Battering Ram and Siege Tower [which are really support units but hey, who’s checking?] with units past the medieval era? What about my poor walls? 1:22:35

• How would you rate each civ? What if the bot drafted you a civ list with civs from each “tier”? How would you feel about it? Who’s opinion would be used to determine such a thing? 1:29:40

• We normally vote to have barbs on or off for a match. With the recent merger, we made Two separate staging lobbies [Barbs on, and Barbs off] – This has shown that Barbarians no longer lag the game out of control and a LOT of barb games have been happening. Do we still need these channels? Or now that we’re aware that it’s fixed, can we return to voting as we did before? 1:42:10
