Well, in the 2 attempts I've made to play MP I was unable to join the game at all, right from the start. I get the message "waiting for ....." and the names of all of the players shows. I get 3 options: Save and play now, save and play later, continue waiting. The first 2 seem rather strange. Why would anybody continue to play alone after attempting to join an MP game?
I will be further disappointed in the game if I continue to have trouble connecting. I have a rock solid connection for c3c. I never lag, never drop and frequently host. If I have trouble getting in games the problem is not on my end.

That isn't likely a "connection" problem whip, it's likely that your computer didn't process the game fast enough on launch and you "de-synched" from all the other players, the game has a built in time-out if the other players don't get data from you in time.

Well, I'll sing my refrain again. My comp is better than the "recommended system".

Perhaps you have to many other programs or "services" running as well, anything that's sucking up memory and CPU cycles isn't going to help, since I don't have a killer machine I typically close down everything that I don't need when playing CIV.
