Ok I started a Steam group for all Civilization games for some people I know, but I thought you might be interested in joining too. It's a public group and I really would like some civ2 players, so feel free to join:

http://steamcommunity.com/groups/Civilbros

I constantly get people in the chatroom so no more of this "add my email to play", go straight in and talk.

How do we connect? Tunngle.

If you guys have heard of Hamachi, it creates a fake LAN connection between the players in a room, Tunngle is just like this, but smoother and faster.

http://www.tunngle.net/

Ok so here are the connection rules
Players meet in Steam chat channel, both load up Civ2 Multiplayer Gold 5.4
A lot downloaded from here:

http://www.bestoldgames.net/eng/old-games/civilization-2.php
And some use the vista 64bit patch if you have text/slowness problems

ANYWAY
Players chat up who's going to play
Load up Tunngle, DONT LOAD UP CIVILIZATION 2 BEFORE THIS
Find "Browser" (usually bottom left of Tunngle window), look at games list, find "Action", go to "Die by the sword", every player needs to be in this channel

Why Die by the Sword? No reason. Any empty channel can be used for LAN connection. If you pick a civiliazation channel, random publics may see your game as well as us.

Ok so once everyone is in Die by the Sword. Load up Civilization 2
Go network
TCP//IP
Host/Join game
Find
Play
???
Profit!

Enjoy folks!
