OK so I saw some of that game on live stream, at least I think I saw it, and there was no way I could watch 2 hours and 40 minutes of Civ 6. I caught that game halfway through, I think over an hour, and it was getting interesting to a certain degree, but I watched maybe 30 minutes.

The number of decisions really starts to add up, and there is not enough time to make them. That makes for some exciting spectatorship. For 6 players to go for over 2 hours is ridiculous, and even worse to expect anyone to watch it.

On October 29th, Team Liquid will announce two additions to the Civilization VI roster. Our choices will consist of players who have consistently demonstrated an impressive understanding of the strategic elements required to dominate in this game. On November 19th, Team Liquid will begin hosting a series of grueling tournaments in an attempt to find the most exceptional players in the community. Please stay tuned for additional details on this epic Civilization challenge.

So is this still happening?

I watched both of Trump's Russia Multiplayer episodes, but the second one I watched the whole thing on 2x speed and skipping forward through some parts. Diplomacy and subversion are clearly important skills in multiplayer FFA.

I could see someone editing down a game from 2+ hours into nice 30 minute to an hour blocks for people to watch being successful. there has to be a bunch of garbage time where people arn't doing anything important or are running through builds that can be condensed a bit.

Yep that's how I can see Civ as a multiplayer working. Not live matches but rebroadcasts of a ~30min per game summarizing what happened

So how does MrGameTheory have #1 ranks on Civ 4 and Civ 5 but only 647 hours in Civ 4 and 615 hours in Civ 5? It's on his Steam profile (Google MrGameTheory; it's the first link that pops up)... he hasn't won a non-scenario game on Deity yet either.

And how does he have "the records for most 1v2, 1v3, 1v4, and 1v5 ladder victories in Civilization IV" with only 647 hours into the game? And how has he "completed hundreds of the top games on every platform" with only this many hours?

This seems a bit... odd to me. Call me skeptical.

We began working with the team behind the popular Fruity MOD to develop a Blitz MOD and competitive map. We are going to release the new MOD/MAP in the next couple of weeks. We are then going to host a cash prize tournament shortly after the release. Since there was no set team play available we are taking a little extra time before we announce the new Civilization additions to the team. We will provide an update on the MOD next week and we are going to allow 10 MOD play testers to try it out before public release. Please send me a message on steam if you are interested in play testing this new MOD.

Is it different the the NQ Mod ?

Will you be using Hellblazer map or another kind of modded map ?

Will you play everything on the same turn or in two part. First part "management", second part "units movement"

Any special rules coming up, like harvesting stuff like stone / weath, etc or banning some cards?

..maybe to early to ask all that

From the name i would assume that they are going to try for a version of the NQ mod that allows for faster games, as to appeal to more viewers or something? maybe to make the game more 1on1 friendly too or something?

So it took all of a week for TL to forget about this? I guess 7 days may have been too much time to start with.

The question is, forget about what? We basically have zero information.

Personally I'm never planning on playing/following all of it but I'm very curious on what it all could look like, just to get a glimpse... I can't imagine competitive matches or even offline events myself, so I need to see it. Announcements please :D

Did you guys miss the not-so-old post from MrGameTheory? It pretty much says it'll happen, just it'll take a while more because it needs a special mod to be entertaining/fair enough I suppose.
