Stupid newb questions.

[Green Giant]

Is it better to host a game through direct connect or Valkyrie.net?

If I host a game do I need to have a very fast connection and processor?

Can there be two players playing the UK while other nations have only one player?

Can I stop a game and then resume it at a later date? How do I do this?

Can I start an MP game, play for a while and then have someone join in mid-game?

In any of the questions does it matter if I am using direct connect or Valkyrie.net?

Thanks

1) doesn't matter. vnet is easier
2) the faster the better
3) yes
4) save the game, then load it later
5) yes, save the game, quit go to vnet host the game then load it again
6) not reallly but vnet is easier. it is just simpler to use
