While you guys certainly seem to be a cool company, and make good software, I'm not sure why anyone would want to work here. From looking at your output, response time, and service, you people don't sleep. I also assume you eat through IV and have certain.... *plumbing* installed at each desk. Of course, this is just a guess. Oh! Wait. This must be one of those "working on something you can be proud of" things. I've been doing corporate

As I understand, you can play a hot seat game by taking over an alien race. Has anyone tried doing this over the net? By which I mean set up VNC (a screen/application sharing utility) and hooking up to a friends computer? This would be a rather sick hack, but I think you might be able to get away with it.

There is no active multiplayer currently. You can only compare scores (as I understand it). If you wanted to hack something, there's a way to take over aliens for a hotseat game.

I am interested in multiplayer, but only for coop. Like, me and 2 friends run 3 civs and take on the rest of the universe. We use civ4 now with the team setting to start out that way as an example. Any chance of incorporating something like this? It's really good for work. You Gal civ in a window for 5 minutes, then (during friends turn) work for 5 minutes. The time in game lets ideas percolate through the brain so you work more efficiently. Rea
