I have Civ IV & V, on steam on my Mac. I have the Xbox one for my old 360, but haven't played that in ages, and the iOS app, which is kind of a lite version of the game. Let me know how VI is. I usually wait until prices drop before buying.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I get bored playing just one civilisation so I like to use Hot Seat to play two or more but the game keeps crashing on me when I do this so I haven't played in a while.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I spent way too many hours of my life playing Civ 2 back in the day. Haven't played another since except for Civ Rev on the Xbox 360.

So only the first player to respond actually met my deadline last week. Still don't have specifics for most of them, but the party is shaping up, at present, to be a cleric, a sorcerer, a rogue and a wizard, with one player giving me no feedback at all and I'm beginning to suspect is going to end up dropping out. So no tank to speak of (though the cleric might be able to fake it, depending on how he puts his character together) and two very squishy characters. Might be a very short adventure.

Squishy. "Ogg has minstrel stuck between his toes. Ogg hates that."

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Ogg should learn to live a little.

A wizard or a sorcerer could be a Spellblade but that would require some customization for 5e.

The Bladesinger "school" from The Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide comes the closest to that concept, but they're still very vulnerable when they don't have Bladesong active. Neither of these people really want to go that route. Not only are they not communicating with me, they're not communicating with each other, either.
We'll see what happens. I'm starting them at third, so they're over-leveled for the start of the campaign. Hopefully they'll have figured out how to work around their weaknesses by the time the threat level starts increasing. (There's also a potential turncoat NPC they have a chance to recruit right around the time things start getting serious who could fill the tank role. Provided they don't just stab him in the face when they meet him.)
Or they'll become monster chow, which can be entertaining in its own right.

If I were DMing for those guys right about now I'd be thinking about fun ways to kill them.
