The lack of backup is tough and unforgiving. I know when I played Civ, and countless other games, I would always save before doing something dicey. Many will consider it a cheat, but I'm just playing myself and I'm playing for fun. This is probably why the dev's didn't include the option. I can live with it and actually enjoy not being able to cheat/optimize the game.

It would surprise me if there was anyone who hasn't blown a game by some similar error. I've deleted at least 10 games when I got mad because of something I did or didn't do.
