Re: Any One Still Playing This Game?
Was recently "still playing", but got to turn 165 and the 'puter crashed briefly. No big deal there, but I found out I hadn't saved the game since 132.
Doh!

The only time I don't turn on "autosave every turn" is if I'm playing multiple solo games from the same Savegame folder. When I start a second game, I set it to autosave every second turn, and so on down the list of options.

Re: Any One Still Playing This Game?
Well I must admit that I let SpaceEmpires.info expire. I just never quite got interested, and no one I offered a hosting-home to seemed to do anything. Not that there was ever a real need for it with other domains doing such a good job. The domains for Dominions (2 qnd 3), and Shadowdale MUD, and Shazzys Shard (ultima online free server), are still keeping my games server active.

Simultaneous turn hotseat games work great for that. No need to worry about saving at all.

Re: Any One Still Playing This Game?
What does your computer have to do with turn 70 mark? SE4 has mind-bogglingly low system requirements; sure it might start taking a while to process turns, but they will process.

I'm actually playing my AAR game on my 166mhz laptop (with 48 megs of ram!)
Gives me time to write part of the report while the turn processes
