High Latency Multiplayer games?

[Dario ff]

I'm looking for any recommendations on 2 player multiplayer games. The problem is, my friend has some problems with his Internet connection(shameless wireless company) and he gets some big latency, over 500 ms most of the time. This high latency only occurs with games that need a lot of updating though(FPS).

So I was thinking of any Multiplayer turn based games over the internet that are fun, don't require much learning... For a reference, Worms Armageddon works perfectly.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Oh, and no heavy thinking or long games if possible. Bonus points if they're freeware.

Medieval 2 Total War is pretty good for that. My friend with terrible high-latency internet and I often play a hotseat game and email the savegame back and forth, works out pretty well if you can get it going decently fast, and a plus is that if you guys hang out you can progress it a lot faster on a single computer in one sitting.

It's definitely a long game, though, but it can still be fun.

Civ 4 should work.

Those suggestions are good, and both of us have good computers for handling things like Civ 4 at maximum detail.

I'd be willing to learn and play a long match in those games, but I don't think my friend would like to keep it that long... I'll ask him though.

I was wondering more along the lines of a game like I said above, Worms Armageddon. It's fast, turn based, and doesn't require little latency.
