Does the game still operates in Internet? it seems the game spots are empty & no1 is entering my games

You can always set up the game between friends, or ask on one of civ fan sites if someone is willing to play.

Better to look for a Civ2 player´s community, last time they were a few but you can get 4-5 ppl games in weekends or late fridays.

Hi all . I was wondering how do you play multiplayer civ 2 games over the net? Do I have to 'setup' a friend in real life to play against or am i automatically entered into a multiplayer game or is there a list of people waiting to play a multiplayer civ 2 game?
Thanks

The first one, AFAIK.

i had written it on a CD a long time ago, and if i search in my old CD's i suppose i could find it... but the truth is that i never posted because it had two major problems. First, when the computer was playing the turks, it played completely wrong... instead of landing troops on the greek islands ( that should have been its first move ) it was always transfering them back to mainland... and i could not find a way to play properly. And also, i had put a civ named "NATO forces" ( the US 6th fleet of the meditteranean ). Whenever it was its turn to play the game hanged! The only solution was to completely erase them, and when i did that the turks always played 2 rounds at once before the greeks! So i got bored with it and never finished working on it.... The sad thing is that i had builted it down to the last detail ( all the units, cities, etc were placed at their exact position according to military maps etc ) and so i was very dissapointed

if you can find it, and if it's not 'proteted' i'd be glad to help you finish it. pm me and ask for my email. and we can work it out. i'm kinda good with AI and triggers/scripting i'm planning to study it even.

i'm not very good in 'map making' as i'm not patient enough to do like you, making exact copies of maps and such. i even made maps with only some kind of water, while all units (even land units) could just walk on it (like jesus) i'm much more into the AI and such. so i guess we could work it out together if you like.

btw i'm looking for a place where i can download civ 2. my causin has it on cd and i always used to play it, i bought civ 3 a while ago but really i like civ 2 much better. so i hope i can dl it somewhere.

and i also hope i can play it online with someone, sounds like fun

I'm afraid he's not active already since long time, mate, so don't expect an answer from him soon.
As for where you could download Civilization II, it seems it's not abandoned yet and still sold, so the only legal way to get it is to buy it. I especially recommend Civilization II - Test of Time which features some improvements over the original Civilization II and few new campaigns with many new and interesting units.

I wouldn't recommend it though because they took liberties with the system itself and some of the additions are rather iffy.

They did more than just add some extras, and some of the revisions aren't for the best. I think Civ 2 is considered so great because of its perfect balance and integration of features, Test of Time messed with that system a bit and made it rather unstable.

Can I get Civ 2 somewhere for free?? I had it, 10 years ago, but the CD is broken

The game is protected, so the only answer to that is:

Only if you know someone who wants to give it to you, but we can't give you any links to sites that offer this game for free. Guess you'll have to buy it. Try eBay or Amazon or any other online store.
