These are some of the traits of the Civ multiplayer experience, and it's wonderful. You can't do any of that wonderful stuff with a turn timer, a beeper that reminds you that everyone is waiting for you to end your turn, and that one div who can't resist saying 'faster pls' - even though in the previous turn I had enough time to tweeze an old fingernail out from the depths of my keyboard while patiently waiting for him to finish.

In the original Civ, I'd while away the minutes admiring my ramshackle palace with its medieval castle wings ostentatiously flanking an Arabic dome in Civs 1 through 3, I loved looking at my cities from above using the dedicated aerial views in Civ 4, I'd zoom all the way out of the world view until I was in space, appreciating the smallness of the planet relative to the cosmos, before plummeting back in through the swirling clouds all the way in on my civilization, panning across it at full zoom while listening to the ambient sounds that changed depending on whether I was hovering over cities, jungles, deserts, what have you. The fantasy of empire-building was one that I enjoyed doing in my own time and on my own terms, getting swept up in whatever alternative world history the game's systems - combined with my hunger for global domination - would generate. I used to play Civilization exclusively by myself. We sent our cultural ambassador Robert Zak onto the internet to test out Civ 6 multiplayer in all its forms.

The perfect way to sidestep would be to play with nonartificial intelligences, who can conduct diplomacy using swear words and cruel deceptions. Civilization 6 is a wonder in singleplayer, though we do have some complaints: the AI still struggles at times and diplomacy isn't quite the revolution we'd hoped for.
