If I can save turn 100; during the turn, as I explained.

And then latter restore turn 100; to it full glory.

Then how is this different from you above quote?

Because the only way to save turn 100 is to hit end turn. That is the only way to save any simultaneous turn in Se4. Once you hit end turn it saves a .plr file for turn 100. That .plr file is used by the host to process the next turn. You can reopen turn 100, but you will be back at the begining. Everything you did the first time you opened turn 100 will be gone. You will have to do it again.

If you are running the host turns on your pc you can backup the files for turn 100, process the turn and then open turn 101, see what happened, and then restore the backup for turn 100 and open it again. But again you will be back at the begining of turn 100. You cannot open turn 100 "in the middle" and have the orders you already gave still be there.

That is what people are asking for the ability to do. We all know how to back up previous turns so we can reopen them and play them all over again form the begining. That doesn't help. What we want to be able to do is stop in the middle of turn 100, save it, go eat lunch and come bac in the afternoon and finish giving our empire orders. That we cannot do.
