ORIGINAL: HansBolter If Tracker actually worked to track my game across multiple saved game slots I would use it. I don't save over and over again in the same slot, which is what Tracker needs to be able to track. I save in consecutive slots until I have filled them all and then start overwriting saves from the beginning. Tracker is helpless. Actually, it is easy to use Tracker with multiple save slots, I do it all the time, it just takes an extra step. I use slot 005 for my 'real' turn, that I send to and receive from my opponent. But at the beginning of each turn, after running the combat replay, I save in a slot for that day (ie DEC 8 goes in slot 008, DEC 9 goes in slot 009). When you load Tracker, it looks in its own directory for the initial save, but then there is an option at the top menu for 'Multi-Turn Load'. You point that (thru window interface) to your save folder, select show all saves, and you can click which saves to load (in order). Even though it's called multi-turn load, you can load each day individually, or you can load a set of them. When I travel, I may have 5 turns on my laptop, when I get back home I copy them to my desktop (where I have Tracker) and load all five. Be careful, as you may have multiple saves for the same date (the 001 and 005 saves for PBEM games, or if you did a temp save in the middle of giving orders), but you can deselect those. I have kept a Tracker DB for several months of consecutive turns this way. I have read that at some point, the DB will get to large, so you may have to create a new DB every few months. As for the savegames, every so often I clear the folder by renaming the saves with the actual 4-digit date (wpae1207, wpae1208, etc) and putting them in another folder, Tracker can still load those as well although the game won't recognize the save name unless you rename it back to a usable savegame slot. Yep, this will work.
