Massive files + Hidden System Folders + no Delete button = lazy, unprofessional programming

That's it, exactly. They obviously don't think their designs through, and the sloth shows up in so many places.

Reflects badly on those of us who do a better job.

Where is the dang savegame folder? I was looking for it last night ....

For XP C:\Documents and Settings\[USERNAME]\Application Data\The Creative Assembly\Empire\save_games

For Vista something similar.

You have to unhide folders first

For Vista: C:\Users\[name]\AppData\Roaming\The Creative Assembley\Empire\save_games\

I've got XP and the save file doesn't seem to be there.

Application Data is a hidden folder.
Haha ok wow yeah I went looking for the save game folder too, glad I got told where it is here.
1.3 gig and I haven't even played far into a campaign yet.
At least I can delete them now heh.

Information like this really needs to be part of an uncluttered and obviously named sticky .
"Workarounds and important info" would be a good title for such a sticky .

Yeah, I like how they said 'we are not the same team from the old TW games. We are a new team and better!'. Just proof that new doesnt always = better.
