Aspyr Media told me today that Civilization VI [Steam] for Linux & Mac will get cross-platform multiplayer when the next patch drops for us.

This is awesome to hear, since I know a few people waiting on it. The new 'Spring 2017 Update' is a big one too, with lots of balance changes, AI tuning, bug fixes and more. You can find all the changes to come in these patch notes.

Once the patch lands, we should then see the Persia and Macedon Civilization & Scenario Pack DLC support Linux too.

We will hopefully livestream another weekly session soon, when Samsai can recover from the nukes that were dropped on him. It's a damn fun game and I'm looking forward to playing more of it. You can read my previous review here. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Quoting: KetilMultiplayer in freeciv was of the better I have tried, having the turns at the same time, and only wait if one player need longer than another player.

Civ has concurrent turns since Civ V, which makes it a quite good multiplayer experience. Still not better than MOO2.
Just wanted to reiterate that Civ 5 (and probably 6 too) has game options allowing concurrent turns. However, if you're more than 3 players games seem to take ages to finish if at all, because sometimes people need more time or they are "chess playing", always trying to do the optimal thing each turn which quickly eats up time. Not to mention the more players you are, the harder it is to get everyone playing at the same time again later. Nearly always someone with other commitments.
