PlayYourTurn.com Launched
By Joe | November 18, 2009
PlayYourTurn.com is a website devoted to internet games of Sid Meier’s Civilization IV. It is intended to be used by people participating in Pitboss games, to allow them to see when players log in to the server, track changes in score, and receive emails when it’s their turn.
This will all sound familiar to many people in the Civ communities, such as Apolyton, CivFanatics, and WePlayCiv, because there’s already a site that does this: CivStats. If you are familiar with that site, you probably know it hasn’t been updated in two years, and is missing important rule changes from the latest Civilization IV expansion pack, Beyond the Sword. I’ve been running Pitboss games for a while, using CivStats, and found the tool to be clunky and the website to be outdated.
PlayYourTurn.com is intended to be a successor to CivStats. I’ve started off with a fresh look, and an updated New Game menu that has settings for all the new civilizations and game options available with Beyond the Sword. I’ve taken feedback from various people in the mutliplayer community, and have added features at their request. In the works are various other interesting features, including a score graph, which CivStats never seemed to get working.
We are currently in the early alpha testing phase while the website and reporting tool are being built. If you’d like to participate, please drop me an email at joe@playyourturn.com.
I’m quite hopeful that this tool will make playing in Pitboss games a lot more enjoyable, and ensure that players are quickly informed when it’s their turn to log in to play.
Play Your Turn.
