Some 'pre-multiplayer' questions

Hi all

First post here.  Just been playing against the AI thus far, got owned in my very first game (on easy, ahem) but have turned the tables since then.

I would like to ask, how much time I do need to put aside to play an online game?  Are some (larger?) games suspended and returned to later on, or are they generally played through to a conclusion?  Are such decisions made beforehand (i.e. before the game starts)?

Thanks!  :)

I hear from about half an hour for the very shortest games, to about an hour and a half to two hours for most.

1-2 hours are pretty normal, but if you play a big map and everyone digs in, it is possible to have a game go 3-4 hours.
