Civ3 vs Civ2 MPGE

[ajerzguy]

I have been a member of the Civ family for many a year. I played many a Civ2 MPGE multi player games on the net when it was supported by MSN Zone without any crashes or problems. There was even a way to play in simultaneous moves without problems. So, the big question is: What makes PTW soooo different from MPGE? Does anyone have any ideas?

More complex AI routines?
More data to send and receive?
Bugs?

Hell, I don't know.
