could a group play a significant portion of a game in one sitting mulitplayer?

Depends on what you mean by significant. Even singleplayer, midgame turns can take quite a while.

TCP/IP is best for the first turns, and you should be able to crank out the first 20 turns in one sitting. After that, you can switch over to PBW as the turns get longer, and your player's schedules diverge.

I think Gold is a large and very nice step forward. There are heaps of fixes, improvements, new features and adjustments. The new combat sounds are a huge improvement. The AI is more respectable. Mod support is nicely improved in a number of ways, especially with the work that's still being added (really spiffy AI tweaking stuff is in the Version now in beta). Not to mention all of the nifty mods included for it. I'd definitely recommend Gold.
