Now start Civilization 6, go to Multiplayer / Hotseat, and configure the game. Set the following settings:

• Game Speed: Epic
• Map Type: Shuffle
• Map Size: Huge

When you're ready, click "Confirm Settings", make sure that you have EXACTLY 12 slots active, and add the following human players, starting at the first slot:

If you don't set up the game exactly as expected, you won't be able to upload it to PYDT!

Once you've created the game and played your first turn, save it and use the button below to upload it and begin the game! By default, the save file will be located at Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization VI\Saves\Hotseat\ on Windows, and ~/Library/Application Support/Sid Meier's Civilization VI/Saves/Hotseat/ on OSX. Have fun playing your damn turns!
