There is an old Hungarian phrase..it sounds something like this in english: "It is a bad man who thinks bad things about the other man."
Most of you lads [especially the old players] tends to think, that the newbies would use a save feature for "cheating". You've never realized that it could be helpful for them. I guess it was discussed already that why. I think that most of the newbies will surely miss this feature. Personally I absolutely don't need it, and the same is true about the Doms 2. players. However try to accept their opinion also in this topic, a save function is not necessary bad. Not to mention that as someone has pointed out, young kids would surely need it.

Yeah, that's true. I think at least a named save file in case of corruption like some one pointed out before would be a good idea.

I just consider it another flavor of a familiar game, like some MUDs I have played with permanent death for the character.

It personally does not matter to me how you choose to play the game, knock yourself out.

DominionsFan there was a program made for Dom2 with one function- Save. There where threads for Dom2 and 1 about need for Save. I myself copy pasted in Dom2 for years. So its not a correct assumption that only newbies need Save. I've never accepted an enforcement of Ironman mode in any game (not even Nethack). It should be a personal choice whether to save or not.
But if the devs withhold Save function out of personal ideology then this argument is moot.
