MultiPlayerCiv2 1.3b (525kb)
MultiPlayerCiv2 is easy to install, and it's clean. It doesn't modify any files of Civilization II.
I advise you to use Civilization II v2.42. Download this patch here.
Since version 1.2, MPCiv2 also works with "Civilization II Fantastic Worlds", and should work with "Conflicts in Civilization", but this has not been tested.
If you've got an error like "dxplay.dll not found", you'll need DirectX version 2.0 or later.

FAQ

Q : How about a Windows 3.11 or a Mac version?
A : Never. We don't know anything about Mac, and the communication system needs Windows 95.

Q : MPCiv2 crashes when I try to swap sciences with the A.I. Why?
A : Never swap sciences with the A.I if the diplomatic talks have been initiated by the computer (i.e. if the computer contacts you while it was moving units). In this case, end diplomacy as soon as possible. That's a bug due to Civilization II (more exactly, an inability to handle multiplayer correctly in totality) which I could easily correct if I had the source code...

Q : How can I find my Civ2 version number ?
A : Load Civilization II, start a game, go in the "Game Option" menu, and look at the title of the window.

Q : Where can I find other players on the Internet ?
A : Try http://wizweb.com/civnet or http://www.perigee.net/~propst
