Quick question. I've heard about the posibility of saving/loading multiplayer games, but a lot of googled info is relating to old patches or complaining about how complicated it is. 
Basically, I like to play teamed up multiplayed with a friend of mine, against the AI. The problem is we can rarely find 3-5 hours free to actually get a massive campaign going!
I'm aware you can save via Control and S, but I'm not sure how this works.
1) If I save via Control and S, how can I later load the game with my friend in also?
2) What is the "Steam Cloud" with regards to saving? Should I save to that or just normally?
3) Does just one person have to save the game to be able to set it up again?
4) Is all of this actually possible?
Cheers anyone who can help
EDIT - Unfortunately posts like this (linked below) are both useful and not. They imply that I can save and load with friends, but the information is potentially out of date. I still don't know how this relates to question number one, how to actually load a saved MP game back up!
