Hello civers,

as Gamespy shut in 2013, 2 guys coded a Server substitute for it. His names are Zulan and EvilLurksInternet.
All credits belong to those two. It is possible to play regular multiplayer matches and meet your friends in the lobby.
All u need to do is redirect the trafic from civ 4 to Gamespy to Zulans server by editing the hosts file.
This Server works for Civ 4, Civ 4 BTS, Civ 4 Warlords

Easy, quick and works like a charm.

Dont be discouraged if at first you find noone online, best time to play is late night MET time.

Works well, small community, they were willing to let me play a team game with them and teach me.

Hey Luv, thanks for bringing this up here. We all love to play teamers on Zulan's. Cheers to him, Evil, and you as the Civ Embassor. IF anyone need help to get things going u can reach me up.

Regards,

Gabriel
