It's not rocket science, the reason civ doesn't work as a multiplayer game is it takes too long to complete a game. It doesn't have anything to do with being slow or dull, it just takes too long and no one wants to save and pick up later. It can take well over 12 hours to complete a single player game. Multiplayer video games in general should not have matches run more than an hour, with some exceptions for mmo rpgs and dungeon runs, but even those developers are starting to break those down into bite size pieces. Simply put when playing with online friends or strangers, if I can't finish the game in 1-2 hours it's unlikely I'll be able to save and get them all online again to finish later.
