A save system.

Lots of games of many genres have one, they're awesome. Pretty cool in D3 too. Too bad the only form it exists in is a mod that explodes if you play the game in fullscreen mode.
The "saves" are basically linux mode (which the game is created on). The ports to more "user friendly" hand-holding systems such as windows and mac tend to lost it.

But there are quite a number of saves available. Not just some mod. I think Ive made 3 different versions available myself.

Let us know what your OS is and what you mean by "save" and we can probably help you out.

The ones that come to mind are:
shortcut-icon
bat file
python program
java

and saves that come to mind are:
save of the game you are entering
save of the game you are playing each turn
multiple back-saves of game you are playing each turn
save of all games every time you start dominions 3
save/restore (a desktop icon to take you back into the game you are playing)
