1] A file management button that takes you to a window that allows you to SAVE, LOAD and DELETE games.

2] An update button that compares your program with the current release and automatically updates the game. No more hunting for patches.

i like option 2, i actually like them both, but i think 1 is more obvious to put in, let's hope they feel the same.

What I would like is a system that stores each new campaign in its own seperate directory, so that my save games aren't all mixed up with each other. I HATE that, and its dang annoying in civ 3, and a fricking pain in civ2 to setup your own.

CTP 2: Save Games

The idea has been well implemented in Call to Power II (this being the idea of separate save folders for separate games). If not this, then separate save sections for different species would be welcome.

However, I do realize that the developers have more pressing concerns, and would not mind if this feature was delayed or eliminated.

I wish to be able to find out how far apart any two systems are on the map. I recall in MOO2, when going after the Darlocks, for example, I would build an outpost, or maybe a new colony, along the route, with the intention of immediately launching an assault on Nazin, only to find that the new outpost/colony STILL wasn't close enough and no assault was yet possible.

handy every now and then.)

Well, I'll be... Been playing this game for 5 years. If I ever knew that, I forgot.

Personally, I don't often have occasion to read the manual that many years after I get a game; can't remember when the last time I took a look at the Colonization manual, for example.

Careful of nosebleeds on that oh so high horse of yours, Moomin.

Thank you for the information, anyhow.

Ok, when I get home I am looking through my manual because I don't remember that and I have always wanted that feature. I could swear I have read everything in the manual considering all the times I was looking it while playing a MP games.

If I find it I will swear so loud that the universe should implode.

[vmxa1]

No new features can be added at this point.

[Lemmy]

sure they can

Ok, make that will be added.

Playing a strategy game without diligently pursuing the manual, are we? Naugthy, naugthy. Your face is not the only part of your anatomy that ought to be red, if there was any justice in the world.

Anyway, I'm not so sure I read it in the manual myself back in the jurassic when I was first learning my way 'round Moo2. But then I've made a point of always trying out all keys in all games, since you find undocumented hotkeys every so often. It won't help you when companies insist on monstrosities like CTRL + SHIFT + A like in Civ3, but it sure catches most things.

Like that F9 in Moo2, for instance.
