Hey, I've been looking at the multiplayer lobby on Civ V, and it seems dead as can be! I never see any games online. Any answers?

Yes the build in games list is regional, so unless you have alot of civ players near you you will not see the games. But believe me there are lots of games going on. As bantams said come join our steam chat and check out were the games are being played.

Awesome. I will do that. However, if the list is regional, then how will I play with anyone else if I cannot see them on my list???

We never see the in game games list, steam has this neat feature that allows you to join games directly by clicking hosts name in a steam chat room player list, and clicking Join Game, this launches Civ5 and puts you directly into the staging room of the game. Even though you might not ever be able to see that game in the normal list. You can also be invited by a host the same way.
