Getting Online
The beauty of Civ III:Conquests is there is no need to download any program nor set up accounts so getting online is easy. Simply click Multiplayer game and then click Online and your in.
The Lobby
There are two ways of occupying the lobby, either by using the game or by using Gamespy (GS). Gamespy is a very useful lobby tool it allows you to private message (PM) other Gamespy users, check what players are currently in the lobby, mute annoying players, see what players are currently starting games and add friendly players to buddy lists. Conquests lobby is very simple allowing you to see players games, start and join games, connect directly by IP, or switch connection to LAN.
Joining a game
Joining a game is easy. Simply click on any open game and enter the players room. Often players may wait to collect a certain amount of players so patience in getting a game setup is important.
