MicroProse Announces
Sid Meiers CivNet

MicroProse, leading publisher of high quality leisure software,
is proud to announce the release of CivNet - the long-awaited 
multi-player version of the classic Sid Meiers Civilization.

According to a leading market research manager, "Multi-player 
action is the most requested enhancement for Sid Meier's 
Civilization."

Civilization has stood the test of time and finds itself 
resurrected with an exciting new addition. The strategy 
concept of the game remains the same as the original version, 
but the new multi-player CivNet will enable the player to:

*       Offer the choice of stand-alone or multi-player games.
*       Control an empire from the founding of the first cities
	to the space age and make all the decisions. 
*       Forge treaties with other civilisations.
*       Manage economic growth, advancement of technology, 
	political and social policy and the use of 
	military force.
*       Chat on-line to communicate with other players 
	during the game.
*       Designate an open game where others can join or a 
	closed game that limits the number of players.
*       View multiple maps
*       Experience the game in real time.
*       Play against up to six other players.

CivNet will be available in May 1995 for the IBM PC 
compatibles. Price to be announced.
