Take the tour ×  Is it possible to start a multiplayer game of
Civ 5 on a LAN connection, save the game in progress, and then
at a later point, continue the game over the internet? If so,
how can I do this?  share|improve this question Are you saying
you want to have some players connect via LAN and some players
connect over the Internet? –  Matthew Read May 12 '11 at 20:55 I
do not know the answer to the first part so I will post here
instead. Private rooms work by putting a password that your
friend will need to know to get in to the room. Once he is in
you can add as many AI as you want to fill out the rest of the
players. –  Scott Chamberlain May 12 '11 at 20:55 add comment  1
Answer  After every turn, the game is saved automatically. After
you stop playing on a LAN game, you can normally restart by
loading the saved game (which takes you to the lobby, so all the
players can join again (or be replaced by AI if they don't want
to join again)).  I imagine the process would be similar online.
