The save directory can be specified by setting the DOM2_SAVE enivornment variable. It is possible to set data and temp directory too if you really want to.
Very nice. By "data" do you mean the home directory? That seems to be where Dom2 keeps its data. That way newlords and maps can both be off of that. Does this work with Linux also? This would be very handy in setting up multiple games off of a server.
