It's for testing Ai's and setting up scenarios.
It runs the game X number of turns and then stops, making backups at intevals set in the game.
Without human intervention.
If you want to see like Master B which AI is best, you set the game to run for 500 turns, and then you check which AI has survived.
Imagine pressing "End turn, wait for it to process, load game as master and repeat, 500 times... Better to let it run over the night by itself.
(Master B does much more in his AI competitions, the reports are really interesting to read when he has a competition running).
