Saving issues

[Rnold]

Is there anyway to save during a game?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, during the strategy part of the game. But during the battles?
It wouldnt be all that bad if it weren't for the evil elmo empire to be at war with me and attacking me in 3 countries with 9 stacks in total.
My girlfriend will kill me if i have to play for 3 consecutive hours (or longer)!

[Swoosh So]

And so she should http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/biggrin.gif , Theres no way to save in battle at the moment, Make the battles happen at your own pace disrupt the loyalty of the elmo provinces surrounding yours...

[Rnold]

yeah, i have been doing that. at a point i even managed to move 10 spies and 10 priests into switzerland. i also caused some rebellion in other provinces. enough is enough however. i have let the evil elmo's conquer europe long enough.
so now i am fighting a war on two fronts and i am telling you, it sucks, timewise! i hope this will be addressed to in the patch.

I had my first 3 hour turn the other day. The next 2 were over an hour each so in almost 6 hours I progressed 3 years. I was fighting 3 different fights at the time (I only picked 2).

I have to admit, that unless I can play until the wee hours of the morning I find myself deciding against playing MTW - it sucks you in too much and then when you realise it's 1am and you need to go to bed you think 1 more turn and find yourself finishing that turn at 2am or so.

Tell me about it! I turned it on at 6pm yesterday (UK time) and only turned it off a couple of hours ago. There's no point in crashing now though, so I might just have to turn it back on! http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/biggrin.gif

It's getting warm in here...that must be one hell of an INFERNO!

saw an answer from a programmer that to allow a save while in battle would require info to be saved about each sprite currently in the battle. iow a huge amount

I could live with the chance to save BETWEEN battles so at least if you get thru one battle and the next one crashes -u at least dont have to play the first one again.

This is the way it should be: saving between the battles!

Now all: SAVING BETWEEN THE BATTLES!!

In the name of electricity: CHARGE!!!

no saving between battles-
keeping you glued to the computer for hours on end fighting one huge battle after another is how the AI takes advantage of human fatigue.
this one is finished
