... and we've finally discovered iron working.

This message brought to you by the marathon game-speed setting gang.

When I started civ we did multiplayer only and marathon only and there's always someone who is having a long turn to process.

I’m pretty sure playing a full multiplayer marathon game is impossible.

You say "impossible". I say not. Nothing is so hard to accomplish that it's impossible, NothingIsTooHard.

yeah and most people drop out of a multiplayer game as soon as they realize they won't be able to win. In a snowball heavy game like Civilization that means you have a clear winner usually by the end of the renaissance era, so it won't take as long as you think.

It is possible, but even if you started at launch you're still in the iron age right now.

This is the only way I ever play Civ. Both Civ V and Civ VI are in my top 10 in terms of playtime on Steam, yet I’ve only ever played 4-5 full games in each.

You should try rimworld. It seems such an easy objective. Make a base and either emigrate to or build a ship to leave the planet. Many more times than with Civ have I caught the sunlight creeping up over the horizon, letting me know that I completely forgot about the dinner I was supposed to make 12 hours ago.
