Problem Saving Games

How do you save games with different names? I.e. I want to save a game at every few turns so that I can re-start it from that point if disaster strikes.

CHEATER !!!


[i]Honestly,
opening up the dominions3/savedgames/*gamename* - folder isn't that hard to do, isn't it? And you should have a ZIP-program (or another packer) installed .. just mark the *nationname*.2h, *nationname*.trn and ftherlnd file and zip them up e.g. into "turn1.zip", and the next turn into "turn2.zip" etc.
That way, you can always decompress any turn you like... . Simply reload the game afterwards.

Why it is this way, one can only speculate. At first, I would guess, the devs don't like anyone cheating around their random events ... furthermore, as Dom3 runs on Mac, Windows and Linux, a OS-independant file selection screen would be needed, which is not that easy to do, unless you use certain libraries, which where AFAIK not used for Dom3 (or 2) anywhere else.
