I my effort to try to setup Dominions and Civ games recently which petered out before we could get started I would like to propose this poll because I am feeling the PBem vibe.

So drop your vote if you want to start playing any of the above games and lets see if we can start something up!

This answer for me is easy...i have only Civ VI.

Note that i will be on a business trip between the 10th of November until the 2d of August. My travel gaming computer can't play CIV VI.

Also only have Civ VI on that list. Been looking at FS 2 but waiting to see if opinions improve.....

You can do Civ via email? Are all Civ's like that, or just VI? Just seemed like when we did Civ IV mp, there was simultaneous turns going on?

I'd play Dominions 5 as I don't have any of the other games.

Sort of. The turns are simultaneous but just like Dominions has Llamaserver, Civ has 'Play That Damn Turn'. You send your turn to PYDT and once it has all player files it processes and sends out the new files.
Works very well.

I had some fun playing Gary Grigsby's World at War: A World Divided game by PBEM a while back.  That game's a bit of a monster to get into, and the UI is God-awful given the complexity of the game, but it's quite enjoyable after you get past the, "Oh, I didn't mean to invite Russia to join WW I in 1939" factor!

I would not be adverse to trying that. (Essentially super-ultra-deluxe Axis vs Allies.)
