Im a total newbie at civ2 multiplayer, just got it 1 hour ago, now what is the best way to find people to play against? Sounds pretty tedious to do it on this message board, specially since I live in Iceland and its about 5-8 hours after USA, and a few hours before the mainland of europe.
Isnt there a host like Kali or something where players meet easily?

Yeah, it's hard to get a game going just using this board. Everyone here uses ICQ to make things much easier.
The other thing you could do is sign up for the Microsoft gaming Zone. I've never done that myself, but I hear there are games going on there.
There's also the HS-Gameleague forum here. Again, I've never used it, but others do, and it should make it easier to find a match.
No matter what, ICQ is just about a prerequisite. There are, quite often, connection problems, and ICQ is used to iron them out, among other things.
Good Luck! Hope to play you soon.

If you want to play with anyone here, you have to be really really nice to people to get a game and then promise not to take all the happy wonders once playing. In fact until you lose your newbie status, which we decide, not you, you are not allowed to build any happy wonders. Also, you have to call everyone "sir" or "maam" when addressing them on "chat with Kings" during a game, and you are only allowed to speak when spoken to.

I am a newbie as well and would love to get into a multi-player game. As soon as you figure out the best way to do it let me know and I will play.

Neutron go to www.zone.com thats the easiest place to find civ2 players and get a game going fast I think. The only problem is the games can get pretty long, and its hard finding the same players there again to continue the save game...so if you dont have ALOT of spare time on your hands its best to just play with few ppl and on a small map. If you want longer games then this is the place to find people, or on icq, since the game will prolly take a week to finish (if you have a life that is :P)

). You are welcome to join that as your time permits. Also like Cavebear, I too would be willing to play a "short" game to help you understand how to set it up. Send me an e-mail or ICQ (if you can catch me!
).
at any rate, thanks for the kind words and i hope to engage some serious trading partners
