Status: offline 		What kind of piece of crap game is this? It just deletes my saved game and screams the files are corrupt or what ever. I generally back up a game like this every so often under another file name just for when crap like this happens, but no the genius that designed that part of the game gave us no option for a normal thing like that. So I have lost hours of game time because the computer turns take for ever. Don't buy this crappy game.

You must be just stupid.
You might have issues but most dont, saying dont buy this game is low and tells about you as a person, piece of crap.

But preventing you from naming games something that means something so you can keep track of them ... that takes the cake, IMO.

My games usually crash while computing a turn, so i always save before
clicking "next turn".

YMMV

Status: offline 		The file General.opt has an entry 'sysBackupNum = 12' at the end of file that
sets the number of backup folder to 12.

And i'll guess we need one or two more patches to fix the CTDs.
Submit crash dump files to help analyze.
