First Civ2 on network

[HiPo^]

I have resently been playin an old copy of civ 2 cuz frankly me and my friends cant cope with having AI in Call to power...... they just litural take us out with hours

However... with my versian of civ 2 it seems there is no way to play on network as it stands.. i think this is down to it been an original civ2 disk not the civ2 GOLD edition

To conclude my point... is it possible to download some patch or mod wich will allow me to play my versian on the network........

Please help, anything will do.
Thankyou in advance

If you wanna email me with any lead then feel free, tomeogrego@hotmail.com

If i could get this working i would be very greatfull to you all.... please reply

Hmmmmmmmm..... nice
And this will work for the first versian of civ2??

I need all three patches i take it aswelll =[

its a hard life

Thnx a bunch though

As long as you have the official update for "2.42 Classic" it will, good idea to pick up the latest Indeo video drivers and codecs from www.ligos.com. You need either the .ace files OR the .exe

If you're only planning to use it locally, rather than against the rest of the world, try this program:

A multiplayer patch created before the advent of the "official" multiplayer Civ2. I've never tried it, so I don't know how good or reliable it is, though.

erm one problem with that little mod Greene........
you then have to use your cd everytime you want to start a game... and if im playing it on lan that meens 5 people passing my one cd around.... not very handy if you know what i meen. Is there anyway gettin round this so just the host uses the cd or somthing, im not surggesting a n"no cd" hack but it might be the only option.

Mercator..... i tried that... got lost.. and turn my computer off in disgust... not very user friendly for a n00b like moi.

Thnx all you been a great help.. this one last thiing could save me alot time if anyone can help me..
