SP: Save game and quit behaviour
 

Imagine yourself in the following situation:
It is late at night, you are tired and you have to get up early in the morning. You are sitting in front of a computer, just playing a single-player Dom3 (or Dom2) game.
http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif What will you do now?

This poll is meant to enlive and amuse, nevertheless answer truly according to what you mostly do. Note that answer e) is meant to apply to anyone who has no particular prevailing dominions abandoning behaviour. I myself always only manage option b), but I don't know why and I wonder what this tells about me, and whether there are others out there just like me...?! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

I tend to manage e most times, the problem for me is actually getting to the point where i will quit (decide to quit. tell everyone i will quit. quit 20ish turns later is common for me)

I voted for C, because that's what I think I'd choose. As with Shovah, that might not be what I end up doing.

Re: SP: Save game and quit behaviour
 

I always hit 'E' and curse because I didn't issue orders and wanted to quit out, and instead processed a turn because SP and MP behavior on 'e' is different. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Mostly c.

Finish the turn, host, then check the results. Maybe do a couple things I either noticed or planned on, so I don't forget, then quit.

Re: SP: Save game and quit behaviour
 

I voted "c", though actually I hit e, peek briefly at the results, play one more turn, then hit e again, peek briefly at the results, and typically quit after saving since I'll have done a few things already (like putting some PD to newly conquered provinces).

Re: SP: Save game and quit behaviour
 

I voted for 'e'.
That doesn't mean I don't get that Just One More Turn Syndrom, just that I usually immideatly quite as soon as I decide to (maybe because if I don't quit right then I won't be able to quit at all http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif)

Re: SP: Save game and quit behaviour
 

I voted for 'b', but it doesn't exactly fit. After 15 or so "one more turn"s I end the turn, turn off the monitor and go to bed. When I wake up, I just turn the monitor back on and examine the results while waiting for the coffee to finish brewing. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: SP: Save game and quit behaviour
 

a, because it's late at night, i'm tired, and i may have screwed something up. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif Exactly! That is why I am so grateful that after each turn processing there is a menu giving me the choice between the nation and exit...

Re: SP: Save game and quit behaviour
 

When you quit in GalCiv the confirm window says "A few more turns wouldnt hurt.. are you sure you want to quit?"

Im SOoooo glad that Dominions doesnt do that.

Re: SP: Save game and quit behaviour
 

I've allways hated those Want to Quit? boxes. Of course I don't want to quit. I will anyways, but I still WANT to keep on playing. For me, I used to finish the turn, and then exit. When I got back, I'd look over the previous turn's moves, make a few changes then host. Now I make my moves, press 'e' to quit and... damnit! I've hosted! I really wish the old host screen would be brought back.
