There's two types of multiplayer.
1) Play By Email, aka PBEM
2) Hotseat.
If you want to play it Hotseat/live, ask Daeroman, he's interested in that and I think knows others who are too.
As for PBEM, as you can see we play that a lot here, and you're welcome to join. All you need is an email account and (optionally, but it's very convenient) the Age of Wonders Email Wrapper.
It's downloadable here; http://aow.heavengames.com/downloads/showfile.php?fileid=1122
Without the wrapper, you have to download your incoming turns from your email, and then send emails with your outgoing turn. But with the Wrapper, if sends and downloads tour turnfiles automatically, and makes a pinging noise on your desktop when a turn arrives for you to play. It can be a little tricky to install sometimes, but we can advise with that.
Be advised that a long game can easily take months - the turn has to go through each person in turn, and since people are often only available to play in the evenings, it can take about a day or two for your next turn to arrive after playing the last one. So playing a game is these little bursts of 10-15 minutes scattered over the course of weeks or months, which is why I like to have ten going at once.
