Hi, first post from a Noob.

I like RTW overall and enjoy playing. It is a complex game with a lot to get to grips with for a new player.

But I do find the save game feature annoying. I tend to end up playing longer than I really should to get sieges of my towns resolved before I have to save. This means that other factions also have a chance to expand.

When I started I saved almost every turn and nobody expanded. My first campaign was a total rollover.

Saving frequently or otherwise makes an enormous difference to how a campaign develops. This surely can't be by design and should be addressed by CA.
