SP: Save game and quit behaviour

PhilD · #1 October 18th, 2006, 03:45 PM

I voted "c", though actually I hit e, peek briefly at the results, play one more turn, then hit e again, peek briefly at the results, and typically quit after saving since I'll have done a few things already (like putting some PD to newly conquered provinces).

I voted for 'e'.
That doesn't mean I don't get that Just One More Turn Syndrom, just that I usually immideatly quite as soon as I decide to (maybe because if I don't quit right then I won't be able to quit at all

)

I voted for 'b', but it doesn't exactly fit. After 15 or so "one more turn"s I end the turn, turn off the monitor and go to bed. When I wake up, I just turn the monitor back on and examine the results while waiting for the coffee to finish brewing.

Exactly! That is why I am so grateful that after each turn processing there is a menu giving me the choice between the nation and exit...

When you quit in GalCiv the confirm window says "A few more turns wouldnt hurt.. are you sure you want to quit?"

Im SOoooo glad that Dominions doesnt do that.

I've allways hated those Want to Quit? boxes. Of course I don't want to quit. I will anyways, but I still WANT to keep on playing. For me, I used to finish the turn, and then exit. When I got back, I'd look over the previous turn's moves, make a few changes then host. Now I make my moves, press 'e' to quit and... damnit! I've hosted! I really wish the old host screen would be brought back.
