Default Re: Very big annoyance regarding empire-creation

I had that problem the other night. I was creating a new empire, and as I am want to do I spent at least an hour writing a short story to explain my entire empire (That way I have a sort of, albeit short, manual of how I should play the game)

Come the first time I noticed a grammatical error (I wrote their instead of there. A mistake I simply cannot live with leaving. I mean it, I nearly had a breakdown) I tried to click on it, but no it won't allow it . What was I going to do, delete all my work back that far? That's the stage at which I had the virtual breakdown I mentioned. I was miserably convinced I would have to leave it and lose my reputation for grammatical excellence . I noticed though that you can save your text. Hooray. I saved it (it saves as a text file) then I left SE5, opened and edited the text file, went back and copied it into the descriptions. It appears to be saved as a text file, as I mentioned, with 3 paragraphs. When you paste it into the empire file it places each paragraph in the sections ie paragraph 1 goes in biology etc.

Should you want to separate paragraphs within a section unfortunately it seems one must resort to spacing it out.

Edit: ah excuse me. What I describe is, I suppose, the laod/save you mention. I had in mind you were referring to saving the empire file.
