Players choose their own civs & leaders.
Ban a leader+civ combination — neither can be assigned to the same player, but each can still appear separately for different players.
Civ7 Multiplayer Lag Monitor is a real-time diagnostic tool for Civilization VII multiplayer sessions.
It reads the game's network logs and displays live stability metrics for every player,
helping you identify who is causing lag or out-of-sync errors before they force a game reload.
This application reads Civilization VII log files stored locally on your computer. No data is collected,
transmitted, or shared with any third party. All processing happens entirely on your device.
This is an unofficial fan-made tool and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or associated with
Firaxis Games or 2K Games in any way. Civilization VII is a trademark of 2K Games.
This tool is provided free of charge and developed in good faith to help the Civ7 multiplayer community.
While I do my best to keep it accurate and stable, I can't guarantee it will work perfectly in every
situation. Use it at your own discretion.

This website does not actively collect any personal data. Standard server logs (including IP addresses) may be processed automatically by our hosting provider, Netlify, in accordance with their privacy policy.
If you enter player names and personal restrictions, drafter.games can remember them to speed up future drafts. Custom categories and their rules are saved the same way. This data is stored only in your own browser (localStorage) — it is never sent to or stored on any server, and it is not shared with anyone. You can view, edit, or delete saved players at any time from the "Saved players" screen, custom categories from the "Manage categories" screen, or everything at once by clearing your browser data.
When you create a draft session, a random session code is generated and stored temporarily in Firebase Realtime Database. Sessions contain only draft settings and player nicknames entered voluntarily by users. No account or registration is required.
