In order to load a saved game file you have a couple of options:
1. Host needs to have ports forwarded (33334-33336 UDP/TCP). This is the recommended method because after the ports are set up it works automatically every time.
2. Host sends the save game file to the other players (for example from email). Then the players receiving this file has to paste it into C:\Sierra\Empire Earth\Data\Saved Games.
***NOTE*** Even if the other players have a save game with the same name in their saved games folder, it is not identical to the save of the host, so you have to receive it from the host.
3. Alternatively, if all players are on the same local network (since you're brothers, maybe you live in the same house) you could host the game through LAN, by going to Multiplayer -> Other Multiplayer. It's likely you'll both have to turn off the firewall on your computers for this to work though.
Hope this helps
