Does anyone know of a way to save a multiplayer game and then continue it later? I play against a friend over the internet and many times we don't have enought time to finish a game. Any ideas?

Save the game as you would in single player with the menu or Ctrl-S.
The tricky part is when you go to reload. To do this just act like you are going to start a new multiplayer game. Then when you get to the host screen, choose "Load Game" from the menu that drops down when you click on Type of Game.
Also, after a host saves a file, if you want to, you can ZIP it up and send it to another player to switch who is hosting. Do this if one of you happens to get a newer, faster connection. 8^)
