How do I create a Pitboss game?

A recent patch for Civilization V introduced the Pitboss mode. How do I create a Pitboss-using game? How do I join one?

I browsed around in the settings and found a place to configure how the Pitboss game sends "it's your turn" messages, but couldn't actually find a way to start such a game.


Solution 1:

When you're setting up a Multiplayer game, there's an option for Pitboss under the Advanced Game Options.
