MP questions
Hi everyone, pls excuse these questions if they have been asked before.

I notice that everyone has been posting their ICQ numbers. Is there any easy way of arranging a game?

I have looked for a CIV2 games room but can't find one. It looks as if there are 2 or 3 hundred people that enjoy MP. If there was a chat room that people went to whenever they fancied a game, the chances of finding another 3 people would be pretty high wouldn't they?

Also, why is 4 the max for most people? I would have thought the addtional complexity from 7 players would make the game more interesting. Is it just that it takes too long to play each game?

thks for your help.....

Yes it takes too long and is too hard to get people back for following sessions.

Add the Australian contingent to your ICQ list - Hydey, Alexander's Horse, Deity, Makeo, me. You will usually find at least one of us online each night.
