Why no Save game Feature

[Gandalf Parker]

Fourth Scenario:
What if I wanted to be able to Save Games in my own game to make sure that I never lose a battle and cry? What if I wanted to put a Time Constraint in my Multiplayer so people couldn't build up their forces? What if I wanted to be able to set rules that no one can create Oceanic Civilizations? What if I wanted to create new Terrain Pieces, such as Savannahs and Tundras?

Do they all betray the game? Yes. The Developer never put any of those features in (to my almost assurd Knowledge), hence it betrayed his vision.

Ummmmm actually, all of the things that you listed are in the game.
Save Game: in the game. They are .2h files
Time Contraint: in the game. There are switches for setting time constriants on MP games
no oceanic civ: in the game. there are switches for locking out nations in games
new terrain: in the game. it now accepts multi-terains so you can create provinces that are cold/wasteland or hot/plains for tundra and savannah
