Key concepts¶
- Game: one match of Civilization V that CivBot runs from gathering players to the result.
- Nations: bans, draft and picks: a nation is one of the 43 civilizations in Civilization V that a player plays in a game.
- Players, moderators and admins: the roles that decide who can do what with a game and the bot.
- How rating is calculated: when a game participant or a moderator finishes an FFA game, everyone who didn't win loses rating points, and the winner gets the sum of those losses.
- Seasons: the period a rating is kept for.
