Civilization Players Civ6 Weekly Podcast #5
This Friday, Oct 13th at 9 PM EST will be the 5th CivPlayers League Podcast. Here’s what were talking about this week!
Co-Hosts Sarnith and KingLewie, and guest Co-Host Yoshi bring you this weeks topics.
Here’s what we’re talking about this week!
• How often can we vote for a CC call to end a game? We know the rules for how it works, and we know that positions end by score doing so. How do we feel about score as a metric currently? What do you think could be changed?
• Lets talk City States! How do you feel about the “Raze-Only” option? If you don’t like it, is there middle ground somewhere? Tell us what you think!
• Should we spy on our “friends” and our “allies”? Why not? We do it in the real world from corporate espionage to watching for nuclear technologies and more – or is it just plain rude to bankrupt your buddy?
• Clan KC and Clan SunZ both have more training events in the works! I’ll let you know as soon as they have dates locked in. There were incredible turn outs in the past both live in the games as well as on the stream chat. Lots of questions asked, lots more answered. Come and learn from highly skills players happily teaching those that are both new and veterans to the game!
• This last Saturday [ October 7th ] ‘s premier league game was run as a Renaissance Era Start. It had an excellent turn out and a lot of excitement and anticipation from the both the players and members in the community. Cavalry Rushes simply dont happen due to the technologies given, and players got to see a wonderful full late game.
• The new DLC has been data-mined heavily from players all over the globe. The expected Civilizations coming out will be discussed, as well as how strong or weak we expect them to be in relation to the other civs! What do you think will happen?
• Don’t forget to comment in with your thoughts, questions, and opinions on any Civilization 6 related topic you think about! Can’t see us live? Be sure to catch it on the youtube channel!

Civilization Players Leagues Civ6 MP Podcast #4
This Friday, Oct 6th at 9 PM EST will be the 4th CivPlayers League Podcast. Here’s what were talking about this week!
Co-Hosts Sarnith and KingLewie, and guest Co-Host Esdeath bring you this weeks topics.
Here’s what we’re talking about this week!
• This weekend the 7th is kicking off the 1st weekend of the Tournament of Champions! This is a multi week event where players participating are required to play in at least 3 games. Once November 18th and 19th come for the finals, the top 3 scores for each player will be added up to determine who comes to the finals to duke it out! • Congratulations to Clan OP for Winning the TCL Tournament Grand Finals and walking away with $350! A well fought push by Clan SunZ who secured 2nd place in the tournament after both teams slashed through 2 other teams on their way to the top. Definitely was an exciting watch and even more so to see the Aztec’s not selected by either team!
• Civ Players League is now over 2500 Recorded Games, definitely a huge step forward with the league continuing to grow every day. A real testiment to this place being the best community to come and play Civilization 6 at. Players from all over the world gathering to have a good time, get away from the quitters and more.
• Upgrading your units in a city state you’re suzerain of and following up with a war declaration with those units the next turn in a “raze-only” format. This discussion being quite a point of contention – is it an exploit that shouldn’t be allowed with that rule voted for? Or is it perfectly fine?
• This weeks guest, Esdeath, will be going over some important topics and points such as how to best utilize builders, set up horse rushing effectively, using the right government policy cards, and more!
