Default Re: Why no Save game Feature

Also note that Dom2 worked exactly the same and yet I don't remember much (any) rumbling about the lack of save
feature..

One of the key improvements in Doms 3 is the overhaul of the in-game graphical interface to a clearer, more user friendly design. Perhaps the out of game interface is overdue for the same treatment.
Like you I can take or leave the save feature itself, however it would be nice to see a little time spent on increasing the utility and general polish of the pre-game menu. While it's probably not important to most people, it's worth remembering that this is the first thing a new player will see, and first impressions are always important.
Personally, I can see the need for some kind of game manager replacement for the load interface. Not necessarily fancy, but it would be nice to perhaps see the current turn number alongside the game name at least. Perhaps even identifying whether the game was created as single or multiplayer, the map used and the player's nation.
