For those who have Civilization V (ideally with the full expansion pack), anyone here have an interest in playing a little Civilization V during Christmas break? We can pick a day between Dec 24-January 1st to have a game going and it would be a great community event for members of the site. I can even try to record it and have it posted on the Vizzed YouTube Channel.

If you want, I can announce this event in the Steam Group as an event.

link in case you aren't in it

I don;t mind playing Civ V. I have both brave new world and gods and kings as well.

To be honest i've never really played it much simply because i'm at a current state where i have too many games to play so i end up playing none.. if that makes sense... But sure it'd be fun to play.

legacyme3 : Oh, I didn't realize that there was one! LOL I'm not really in any steam groups anyways, but that would be cool if you can do that. In fact, if people want to do a different game that I also own, we can do that as well, but I have an urge for some Civ 5.

I'll also move this to Zander's steam forum.

Yeah, the Steam Group has been up for a couple of years now. It's actually the second one. The first one, run by Snowdeath, died almost as soon as it began, so I made a new one. We've got close to 100 members on it, so it's really the best place to find other Steam Gamers associated with Vizzed.

I set up an announcement for this event, and directed it to this thread. sonicmcmuffin tells me you have to be online to get the notification, so I'll be sending this notification out 2-3 times over the next couple of weeks.

When you have a time you and others feel comfortable with, summon me, and I'll notify everyone in the group with a new event.

If you need further assistance, let me know, I doubt I'll be playing the game myself (I'm too busy these days with other affairs), but I also own the game (no expansions though, I hate paying for DLC) and might drop by if you need an extra member or something.

Hope this works out, the Vizzed Steam Group never has many events, because people have never responded too well to them.

I might be able to do a little bit. Though I dont have the expansion.

Funny you ask, because i was just playing that game.

So yeah, I'm up....... IF i can get something to work (Steam has been freaking out on me lately - I'll have to see if i can fix it). I do have both G&K and BNW, though.

Remind me, are people able to play against each other if some people don't have the expansion?

play4fun :

Unfortunately, no.

I have attempted many times, but the new content in the expansions mandates that you own them to play multiplayer. However, you can disable the expansions and play just the base game.

Darn it. I'm out.

Then we'll do it with just the base game. I was only able to get all of it because of a humble bundle on time, but I'm good if we just do Civ 5 the original.

That should be an interesting game for me.

I've never played just the base game (I first got the Gold Edition, which included G&K and BNW later).

Can't wait to see how that goes down

I might be up for some Civ V, but I just have the vanilla version. I can't commit to anything as of yet, though. I don't know what plans may be in store during the break as of yet. Family comes first.

Does anyone have a date suggestion?

I'm hugely late to the punch, but perhaps Boxing Day (Dec 26th)?

Just a suggestion.

Boxia : I'm open to that idea. Anyone else?

Whatever date you guys decide on, make sure to summon me, so I can make one last announcement in the Steam group, to hopefully get you guys one or two last players.

How does Boxing day (December 26th) with the main copy of the game (no expansion) work for you all?

ALSO, those of you who don't have the expansion pack, I would recommend getting them now for Steam has a sale on both expansion packs for 15 dollars each, and I highly recommend getting them both for, in my opinion, they definitely add substantially more to the gameplay. If you get them now, we can play with the expansion.

play4fun : Boxing day is fine with me mate. 

As for the expansion packs i have both and i would recommend that people look into them, It really adds a lot to the base game
