It’s my first time playing any Civ game ever. I’m currently at the top of the scoreboard for reasons entirely unbeknownst to me. My advice for anyone else considering playing their own game: form an alliance with the server admin.

This sounds amazing. Hard to wrangle friends together to play a game, so giving a full day is great.

Ignoring Civ 2 vs Civ 5 differences, any experiancing hosting Unciv vs Freeciv?

Link to the live demo site where you can see what this code does (aside from running the actual server): https://freeciv.andrewmcgrath.info

Any reason for such a long turn timeout?

This style of play is really underrated.

I used to play a half-dozen or so games of Diplomacy at time with daily turns for years.

There are still modern games that take advantage of this idea (my friends have been playing Old World like this recently) but I'd like to see it more.
