Yes - it's fortunately not an "always on" game - but I find it is best to always have access to some internet at some point in the session. I always have to make sure to specifically set in my mind some figure (gold, races, something) that I can use to check to see if progress is lost. And I always, always, always, save before I quit. When I feel particularly paranoid, I quit and restart (and reload) until I have the latest.
