I haven't been able to actually use any special sites in the game. When I right click the site or use the "o" hot key, nothing happens or I get a message that I can't use it now. Are special sites implemented yet or am I doing something wrong?

Whenever a site has a special power and you go there with a commander, there should be a new command in his orders menu to activate the site specific power. Usually it says "Activate special power" or something like that. The o key is just a shortcut for that. Not all special sites have a special power.

Stonehenge, Ship Stones and Crystal Globe have powers that I know of, haven't seen others yet.

Many of the special powers can only be used at certain times. Such as certain seasons

Starting to get a handle with how things work in the game, slowly. I wish an accidental manual came with the accidental beta.

Where are the saves stored? I'm using windows 7

You tell us. Im not sure if we have a Win7 tester

At the moment here is my favorite settings. Random Map but extra large (77x77). Society age is left random altho I love Dark Ages. Clustered Start and Common Cause both ON for allies. I dont particlarly like Southern Terrain but I dont turn it off or limit its size. All nations are set to Knight level. 4 2-nation teams. I will have one AI as my partner

And then the best of all. Figuring out which nations work best together on the same team. Some good ones are Baron and Druid, Baron and Burgmeister, Cultist and Senator, Troll King and Dwarf Queen

The save locations are in the manual, but there is no manual in any of the beta versions, since it's not quite complete yet. Getting there fast, though.
