But I wouldnt say they cant grasp abstract logic. But it does require a grasp of command-line interface. A familiarity with DOS helps, or if not that old then a familiarity with text-mode linux or Mac OS-X

@Epaminondas
Put it on your desktop. Or your start menu. Its just a clickable that will back up all of the games in C:\Program Files\dominions3\savedgames to a subdirectory called oldsaves. Its the same as manually doing these two commands.

cd c:\program files\dominions3
C:\WINDOWS\system32\xcopy.exe /yes savedgames oldsaves /i

It might need editing if you have your dom on a different drive than C or a different directory than the default one.

Thanks, Gandalf. I will try it out.

And, speaking of things I'd like to see (but never will).
On games where you're reunning on two day turn arounds.. and you have an imprisoned God...

Hell, I forget what design I used ... its often a surprise to when he finally shows up .. I mean.. 70 days later.. you're in 10games....

It would be nice if you could see yourself (like HOF entries) when you click on pretender gods.

Heh - I've had that problem and I agree completely.
