Why no Save game Feature

Since the game only has two developers... I don't want them spending their time adding a feature which can already be done manually. Fixing existing game bugs is definitely a greater priority.

I understand your reasoning. And as far as game stopping bugs, I can agree. I just haven't encountered very many of those and, since other features are added with each patch (like new nations), I tend to think this is not a case of prioritizing major bugs over new features.

Without adressing all of the other specific arguments for or against Saves (but having considered them), I wanted to add my voice to the OP and to Graeme's. Some people think Game Saves are a no-brainer in this day and age and I would even suspect, that while some of the 'old crew' here might not like them, the general public might. Obviously, I don't have any evidence but one thing that struck me after reading this thread...having read game reviews...not having game saves is often listed as a negative and I don't think I have ever read a review that said a game was worse because it *did* have game saves.
