CivNet

CivNet is an updated version of the original Civilization, ported to Windows 9x and with added multiplayer support. Apart from a few new features, gameplay did not change from the original.

New features

King Builder This feature allows for the player to create a visual representation of his/her alter ego.

Map Editor As with Civilization II, a map editor was included so that the player could design their own maps, quite a useful feature, one that was lacking in the original civilization

Criticism

• Response time using the interface is slow.
• The multiplayer feature is wrought with with lag; sometimes it can take over 5 minutes for the information about each player's turn to be sent, even on a fast connection.
• The ability to play a game with simultaneous movement was a good idea, although due to the amount of lag a player could be attacked by the AI whilst waiting for data to be received or transmitted.
