Simultaneous game issue

JLS, on behalf of all women and Irish, of which I am neither, appology accepted.

Fyron, drop it. No more out of you in this thread that isn't on topic. If you want to continue this irrelevant and distracting tangent contact JLS via PM, please.

EDIT: And that applies to everyone else as well. JLS made an offhand attempt at self depreciating humor. If you can't see it for what it was then take it up with him personally. Spare us all the constant bickering.

Will any of those Windows Power Toys/Tools, released conditional by MS; that give you split screen capabilities for 95 or 98 be of any help?

This way allowing another to work in there desktop environment. While your se4 environment will be minimized and possibly password protected.

Hmmmm....

It seems that most if not all players would like a "temporary" savegame feature.

Has anyone approached MM on this? And if they have responded, what is their position?

I will drop it, but first I need to clarify "that line". It did not mean the whole thread, it meant only the particular line of Posts about the issue. I didn't think that term was unclear, but I guess it can be. And, it is always nice to see things I say blown out of proportion. Back to modding land.

Yes, I know I for one requested it loudly during the original beta, the Gold beta, and some other times along the way. It was also a fairly popular item on the list of requested enhancements by Gold beta-testers.

I would also welcome the possibility to save during a simultaneous game. I only play solo games and a while back i changed to simultaneous games because of the ability to repeat orders. Invaluable for mine and sat laying to keep the micromanagement down.
I still remember the horror when i discovered i couldn't save my game half way.

I hope SEV allows saving. Before i go back to the current game, i always copy the savegame over to another directory out of fear that the savegame might become corrupted. In turn based this isn't such a problem because i have plenty of other save games lying around.
