Status: offline 		It happened to me that I load a game and then, the next second, the game is auto-saved. it seems the time clock is not reset on load.
Also, when the game supported hibernation, the save always triggered when waking the computer.
Finally, when AFK, the game is saved all the same, filling all the autosave slots with the same game.
Not an important issue, but annoying.

Status: offline 		Re: AFK saving, IIRC, this was intended for the reason of, if you made any changes (policies, orders, designs, etc) you wouldn't loose them (is set to save every X minutes of RL time, not game time)
I'd imagine only way around that is some form of hash check to see if the savegame will be the same to the previous autosave... but that would still take you time to save
