Problem Saving Games

Why do I have to quit the game then launch a .bat file in order to make a proper save? Reading this thread, customers are apparently not even sure what files should be saved. It's not like we are asking for something revolutionary that has never been done before, we are asking for an option that is present in 99.99% of the games on the PC.
I've already done the "quit to save, launch self-made .bat file to really save" routine with an SPWAW megacampaign. I know it very soon becomes like work, more work than the game is worth. And if it's so easy to circumvent this "no-save" policy, why not let customers do it officially, from within the game?

I think you're totally misunderstanding how things work. You need to install save game system once (similar to how you'd install a patch for example) and you have all save games without any extra actions from you (except the multiple mid-startegy-phase ones). Your use pattern is perfectly covered by those automatic saves.

I think you're also wrong about "no-save" policy. That's likely just that it's deemed pointless writing something in-game that is already done (and likely much better) with existing tools. Saving the game is not really Dominions-specific task, so amount of effort to implement such feature would be disproportionate to amount of added value.
