Civ2 (63.30.0.128)

Who's up for an Emperor level? It's my first time in Multiplayer.

I'm up for it. I also usually play at Emperor level and have never played multiplayer. I had tried to set up a game today with someone else, but he had Test of Time and I had Civ2 Multiplayer Gold (mac). I guess the two versions are incompatable. Anyway, I'm in the PAC time zone and tonight between 6 and 9 p.m would be good. ICQ me at # 104645584 or e-mail me at martyjay75@hotmail.com.

I want to try a game. How does this work? I have never played anything online but "spades", so am a rookie. Do I need that ICQ thing?
7 pm to 9 pm is good for me on weekdays.

You don't have to have ICQ, but it's helpful in allowing players to communicate when setting up and playing a multiplayer game. There is a link on this site where you can download ICQ, it's free.

I have Civ Gold Multiplayer running on a Mac. Apparently Test of Time and Multiplayer Gold are not compatable.

OK, I have ICQ now. How do we start this game?
I have Civ II Gold.

One of us has to host the game. Once we figure out what time and who's hosting, then the host gives you the IP address. You load up Civ 2 and select "Multiplayer". Then either join/host game. It will then ask for the IP address if your joining the game. You type that in and it should work. The host has to enter in the # of players (CPU or human), the rules, time limit on turns, barbarians, and some other crap..... then it should work. I've never done it before but sounds pretty straight forward.

Let me know if you want to set up a game sometime.

I'm good for Wednesday at 7:00 pm California time. I don't know if I can do that host thing though, I don't know what an IP address is. I do have a number for ICQ though.
