Is Play by Cloud the new Pitboss?
« on: February 16, 2019, 05:34:18 PM »
I was watching Hadrian's Civ6 Patch notes Video and there was something around the 19 minute mark of the video that told about the new Multiplayer Feature.  It sounds like a mix of the PBEM and Pitboss.

Anyone know more about this?


Also, note to UnO, looks like there is also new Color Blind Options available now.

According to Nikolai over at WPC

PBC is the new Pitboss yes. And it works wonders! I have had games going for months, and it is the best thing for MP since sliced bread. :) Very easy to play with, you get notifications in Steam when you have a new turn and you can even use webhooks to give yourself an email (I do this) or Discord message when it's a new turn. :)
He can't say due to NDA, but he apparently has been playtesting for Firaxis for a while...

We are no longer particularly in the business of writing software to perform specific tasks. We now teach the software how to learn, and in the primary bonding process it molds itself around the task to be performed. The feedback loop never really ends, so a tenth year polysentience can be a priceless jewel or a psychotic wreck, but it is the primary bonding process?the childhood, if you will?that has the most far-reaching repercussions.
