Well it looks like MP isn't going to be in the version that is released at the end of this month. The following I got from Best Buy's website:
Minimum PC System Requirements:
Processor Type: Intel® Pentium® processor
Processor Speed: 300MHz
Operating System: Windows 95/98, Windows Millennium Edition (Windows Me), Windows 2000
System Memory: 32MB RAM
Hard Drive Space: 100MB
Video: 16-bit, DirectX 7
Sound Card: DirectX 7-compatible
Drive Type and Speed: CD-ROM 4x
Multiplayer Internet: No
Multiplayer Network: No
They say no MP. Here is what I found out in a preview from EB:
"Another feature that isn’t in the game as of yet is multiplayer. Firaxis is still deciding how it wants to incorporate multiplayer into the game, and before it does so, the development team wants to make sure that Civilization III’s single-player mode is as good as it can possibly be. "
So, I guess those of us who were really excited for the game for MP uses, will just have to wait unitl they release CivIII MP.
