Civ2 PBEM Diplomacy home page

Programmed by Yaroslav and translated by Galvatron, Cyrion and Sezon
 
 
 
  Hi, guys! This is the Home Page of Civ2PBEM diplomacy, an utility specially designed by PBEM players to PBEM players. It works in PC and should work without too many problems in MAC OS X. Download the last version here.  
 
WHAT IS THIS UTILITY FOR?
This utility allows agreements between human players in a Sid Meier’s Civilization II e-mail game. For those of you that don’t know what Civilization 2 is, I only can say that Sid Meier’s Civilization 2 (by Microprose) is, in my humble opinion, the better game ever made! You lead a tribe from the ancient time to the success – or the failure. Civilization 2 has many versions; one of them, Civilization 2 Multiplayer Edition (also know as Ultimate Civilization 2) allow multiplayer games by Internet (IP games) or by e-mail.

If you don’t know how to play Civ2’s PBEM games, I encourage you to visit Apolyton or Civfanatics PBEM forums:
