Hi, I tried multiplayer for the firs time today, how come everytime there is only one game available to join? is there a way to choose server or sth? Thanks.
 
Thanks. which server do ppl use most? even on New York server there are 2 or 3 games mostly.
 
It depends on the day of the week and time of day - yesterday on the New York server there were constantly about 8 choices for games during "prime time." Switching between the New York, London, and Los Angeles server, you much can play MP anytime of the day.
 
Changing servers only sometimes works to see more games, Steam still filters them by ping, so you simply will not see games with high ping to you no matter what D/L server you chose.

The better option is just to join a steam chat room to find players, and use the Steam apps ability to hook players together even if you can't see the hosts game in the built in games list.

To see what I mean just come to the CivPlayers Steam chat lobby, www.civplayers.com and click on the Chatroom(steam req) link on the left side menu, any player in chat can tell you how easy it is to setup games via steam.

tbh i tried a bit the civplayers but since i dont like 1 v1 i had hard time finding ppl for team games
