Those of you looking to experience Civ4 multiplayer but unsure where to begin may be interested in the Civ4 Multi-Team Demogame, a PitBoss game played by five human teams, each with about 20-25 members. The word "demogame" is a contraction of democracy and game: inside each team's private forum, individuals discuss and strategize, making this game much more interactive than a simple multiplayer contest.
For reference, you can check out the team forums from the first game, including once-private team discussions and screenshots. The current Beyond the Sword game is still in the early phases, so it's not too late to join, either to lurk or to take a more active role.
To participate, visit and follow the instructions in the sign-up thread inside the main game forum. You can also read the Frequently Asked Questions for more info!
