Running Civ.4

I don't think dial-up is going to be a problem. It's not a 3D shooter where you have to constantly exchange a large stream of data. The game just sends info about each turn and maybe some chat data.
.

Except that the info needs to be 100% correct for a game like Civ, while 3D shooters can cheat with info being sent or not.

Still, it's going to be a lot less info than for a 3D shooter. How long does a turn take? Updates are nowhere near as frequent as an action game.

I once was able to play shooters online about 5 years ago and it wasnt bad, but now its a joke!! I ussually get kick out of the server for lagging. But in Civ.3 its not bad untill you get far along in the game and then turns take awhile. Thanks for all the input it's given me some ideas.
