Hover any amber word and scroll to cycle it, open or closed; click to pick; arrow keys work too. GPT-6 is Astra, run through the Codex subscription. Difficulty names follow the game (Civ VI adds the Deity++ tiers; Alpha Centauri runs Citizen → Transcend). Mythic and above are the Deity++ tiers.

The ladder · live
Game AIs are fixed anchors (Deity 1800, +150 per tier) and never move. Your first three games are placement matches rated by performance against the field (? = provisional); Elo K=32 after that. Full ladder, leagues, open a lobby →
The schedule · filling the matrix
Every cell of the question above is a game somebody has to play. Complete rows link to their replay and save; planned rows carry a date and an owner. "open" means the seat is yours. Registrations from signed-in players land as pending until confirmed; harness reports are signed.

Honor policy. Every book lists the API-equivalent cost of the tokens the agent actually consumed to play, computed from the session transcripts at list prices and printed next to the placement, so a result is never quoted without its price. Messages that drove the game count toward the game; site, video and infrastructure work by the same model is shelved separately. Not counted: human steering time, the machine, electricity.
Method · placement and Elo estimate
Civ has no ladder, so the estimate is a performance rating: each rival civ is one opponent; the agent scores a win against every rival it out-scores at game end. Performance = 1800 + 400·(W−L)/N, Deity AIs anchored at 1800. Beating all five rivals in a six-civ game reads 2200; losing to all reads 1400. The anchor is a convention until enough rollouts exist to fit one. The live ladder's number is iterative Elo from a 1500 start; the two converge as games accumulate.
