Multiple save games?
I've tried several times to get into this game, but its never really hooked me.
I'm going to try again.
I remember there is no way within game to save multiple copies of the same game, which I think is a shame, because you cannot try multiple strategies from the same point.
I vaguely remember some user made utilities that allowed multiple saves.
Can anyone point me to one of these?

Re: Multiple save games?
There may be some utilities for that, dunno.
You can do it manually by just copying your .2h file from the game folder (under Saved Games) into a different folder. Then, if you want to go back, just move your old .2h file back into the game folder.

Re: Multiple save games?
You can easily do it manually.
1) Find your Dominions3 folder.
2) Go to the /dominions3/savedgames folder
3) Copy the folder with name of your game
That's it. Your done.
When you want to redo a turn, just move the contents of the copy to the original, or to another folder within the savedgames folder.

Re: Multiple save games?
Thanks.
For anyone who has Vista, the default for savedgames is no longer in the C:\Program Files. It is at "C:\Users\{whatever your user name is here}\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\dominions3\savedgames"

Re: Multiple save games?
I have a very tiny zip on the Utilities page of Dom3Minions.com which works find for WinXP and probably some other windows also.
Its just a standard windows thing without adding anything to the system. You put it in your dominions3 directory. Its a desktop link, with an icon that looks like a safe, and when you click it does a
C:\WINDOWS\system32\xcopy.exe /yes savedgames oldsaves /i
When you click it all of the games are saved to a matching version in an oldsaves directory.
