Yes, there should be a way to save the replay as a file. Mark has a point. I often saved my Civ I replays in the beginning, and printed them to see what I did wrong.Creator of the Civ3MultiTool

Ok, the thought that springs straight to mind is that if the replay is made from a datafile, making a simple read application would be easy?
Then if you want to show anyone your history all you need is to send the datafile.One day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry.

At least it covers my greatest worry. In SMAC, the replay feature went by too quickly. You just couldn't keep up with it, in 5 seconds the replay would show hundreds of turns of action, and then be over before i had the chance to read anything. Better than Civ 2's replay, admittedly . But with this 'play button' stuff, it even prevents the infinte 'press spacebar' syndrome from Civ 1 as well. So a big
But yes, i would like to save my replays as well (it might still be an option, like when you close the replay it could ask if you want to save....I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).

looks to me like when you select the city out of the list it is pointed too on the map.
i think you should also be able to see its growth and in size and culture when you click on itand have it zoom in on the city as it progresses in fast forward..

Also, such a rec-feature would give those players who cant (for some reason or another) play MP-games, a change to relate their own skills with other civ-veterans. Downloadable MP summary-replays would be a nice subsitute.
Finally, notice the "view history by..." dropdown-menu, with several options, no doubt; Score power, military power, economical power, cultural power and so on. At least I hope so. This is an upgrade compared with Civ-1, where one only could view military landgrabbing achievements.Last edited by Ralf; September 22, 2001, 04:50.
