Default Re: Any One Still Playing This Game?

I was able to get through three screens of the SEV tutorial. I just can't take the 1 FPS refresh rate.

I am in one SEIV game having slowed down a lot for RL. But am about to get more into it. Still the best game I know out there.

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.

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.
