Default Auto Save

It appears that autosave is performed after all AI players process. Given this games propensity for hanging while processing after player moves wouldn't it make more to sense to save right before it starts processing the end of turn? At least that way a human player wouldn't lose everything he spent time doing right before hitting end turn. If I have to manually save before hitting end turn at least allow me to toggle on a warning to ask me if I want to save. Food for thought.

That's a good idea. Sent it to Aaron!

Default Re: Auto Save

I think it would help debugging too if on reloading the game it came back to the point your ready to hit end turn, but didn't actually start processing the end of turn. Would give you a chance to change/delete orders before EOT processing. Thanks! This board and the community around it make this game successful!
