You need to start civserver, even though you want to play with the
computer (so called "ai"). This is what you need to do:

Start civserver and set the number of ai's you want:

        set aifill 5

Meaning: 5 players will be allowed to join the game. If you don't get
this number, civserver will fill the remaining number with ai's. (In
your case you would have to deal with 4 ai's.)

When you have done that, start civclient and log into the civserver
(probably you just need to press the OK button after you have choosen
your tribe and your name.

Have fun!

Claus.
