Well, in fact, it's faster to exit the game and make a backup of the savegame folder than it is to wait for most of the games' saving/loading times. I am just constantly surprised by the inflexibility around here.

I like that there's no save/reload in a regular sense, but I'm missing the ability to review battles that happened few turns ago. Often, when I'm preparing to a battle I want to carefully examine opponents actions in a previous battle, which happened earlier. I tried to write down key point in the battles, but it's a bit annoying and often I will not write what I will actually need afterwards. In this case, being able to review past battles would be nice.

It would be nice to be able to see past battles.

At least if you know you'll want to look back at a game state, you can keep a copy of the saved game using the file system.

HJ, I don't think this is a case of being inflexible. Sometimes omission is good. Easily undoing bad events by reverting to saved games is something I dislike in almost every game.
