some of my saved games aren't being shown in the list when i try to play a saved game.
is this because the list is too long? 300-ish.

i just want all my games to be on the list so i can load them. though i suppose if i have to shuffle some to an archive folder i will.

I've not come across that. 300 games?! Maybe lots of them were tests? I just call all my test games 'p', for brevity. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

I'd try the archiving.

You can also get games to not show up on the list by putting certain characters in the folder name. For instance a space or '('. I frequently put completed games in parentheses so they don't clutter my view.

Why keep finished games? For the score?

I would think you would keep finished games for reference, such as when you have not played a nation in a while, but you are about to play them in MP. Then you have an old game to show you what they are capable of.

It would be a sweet new feature if a scoring system was implemented.
