I don't think you can use an Amiga Civ game with Windows. Unless you have an Amiga emulator on your system, perhaps?

anyone made it work before? i feel stupid for buying the wrong game.

A quick google search for Windows 2000 amiga emulator led me to WinUAE. But I don't know how to use it, how to set it up, or what all is needed for it. But apparently it's a Windows port of the Unix Amiga Emulator.

If you got the DOS version you should not need DosBox to run it, although that might avoid some problems. Windows 2000 has a DOS-like mode. It is called Command Prompt. It should be in your Start menu somewhere, or you can launch it with the Run... item on the Start menu. In the Run... box type "cmd". You'll get a window with black background and light grey text, probably saying "C:\>_" or "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>_". Insert the floppy disk labelled Disk 1 into your floppy drive. At the prompt type "A:" and hit enter. This tells the computer to use the floppy drive for all commands and programs. Then you need to install Civ. The command is "install" or "installc" and it will start the installation process on your computer. When asked for paths and drives, select drive C: and use a simple path like C:\CIVDOS.

When the install is done you need to be in the right place to play it. In the command window issue these commands:
C:
cd \CIVDOS
CIV

If you used a path other than C:\CIVDOS then use the drive letter and path you chose for the commands I showed you.

It's really easy and I gave you step by step instructions.
