Guide to civ5 multiplayer

Hi everybody,
I am new here and trying to get started.
My son received Civilization V Gold edition for Christmas. We are able to play single player games and love it but we really want to play a game against each other on the same machine. (with other computer generated civilizations) At this point when we set up it takes us all the way to "Load game" but there is no "Play" button.
I reinstalled, verified, thought perhaps it has something to do with screen resolution and tried to adjust that, looked for any clashing programs but there is hardly anything on this computer and still no fix.
Does anybody have ideas of what we are doing wrong or any options that I can try to get it working, please!
Thanks in advance!

Hello All,

We play with our friends with Hot seat and Internet games.
Question is, can we continue a hot seat game on internet, please?
Any hints, please?

Thanks in advance.

That's all.

Um, or you could just tick the box on the options menu that allows you to see these from the start in SP.

Click to expand...

I am not able to find this option in my version. Which version are you using?
