switch game modes in-game?

[GrendelS]

Hi,
I have a PBEM game going on with a few friends. For christmas, one of them is in the area so we thought we meet and play a few rounds on one evening, speeding things up a little. Is there any way I could switch our game from PBEM/hotseat to turnbased/simultaneous LAN game? If not, that would be a nice feature for Civ4...
ciao

Yes, you can.

When you set up your LAN game, select "Load Save", load your PBEM/hotseat game, and play away.

At least, it works for Hotseat to LAN, and I assume it works for PBEMs as well.

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas to you, too! Does it work the other way round? I mean, after playing next week, we´ll have to go back to PBEM. Would be bad if we couldn´t switch to the original game mode ;-)
I´ll try it out tonight, thx a lot
