    Sorry to hear that. The current game has a limit of 200 people per game. I don't think you can do anything to join that game. I hope they have no such limits in future.

    Btw, you can join another game/server if you want to play the game (a new game with few people), and invite your friend there. This way, you can play together.

    "you have no free game slots" means that you have not yet unlocked a second and a third active game slot. Just play your first game a bit longer, you will unlock a second slot in the progress of just playing the first one.

    Thank you! I'll try and if it is not because of the first mentioned problem i will be happy!

    One of the biggest problems with this game is the inability to easily play with friends. Given the platform, you'd think that would have been addressed early.

    agree with Alex on this. been trying to get a couple of my friends into the same game and just cant seem to manage it. why dont they just put an invite friend button somewhere or a join friends game button?

    I can't even get the game to load today with all the connection issues. Back on topic: every player should have the option to resign from their starter game so they can join a friend's game. Either that or make it so we start with 2 game slots.

    Any idea how long you have to play before the additional slots open up?

    Another idea would be to add the option to create Teams of max 16 players.
    Player A registers a Team and gives it a name.
    He/she can then invite friends to join it and the first 16 to accept become part of it.
    As founder of the Team, Player A can then register his team in the next Civ Game.
    When the Game starts the team is allocated a Civ and all the team members are automatically logged into that Game.
    When the Game is over Player A can then register his team in another Civ Game.
    A leader board can then be developed showing: Team name, Civ they played, Game number, Final score/ranking
    After a few Games, the better teams will emerge and the Game selection can then be biased to putting evenly performing Teams in the same Games.

    It is important to find a way to let players work together in Teams and recognise this.

    Seems to be ~75% of your first game's eras to unlock 1 more slot. But it's just a guess.

    When starting a second game, does that contribute to your achievements or medals from the first game? Or does waiting until a game is over and starting a new one do this too?

    All achievements have to be obtained in one single game's progress.

    Herbie, I think that's a fantastic idea! Please share it with the developers. Well done.

    I'd like to think that the Dev's read this Forum and consider what we suggest.
