Bug#605543: When playing against AIs only, it would be lovely to have wesnoth-style autosave

[Enrico Zini]

Package: freeciv-client-gtk
Version: 2.2.1-1
Severity: wishlist

Hello,

thank you for maintanining freeciv.

Wesnoth has this fantastic autosave feature that allows to go back a
certain number of turns without needing to continuously hit the save
button at every turn. It also automatically clears autosaves more than X
turns ago.

It'd be nice to have the same thing in freeciv. Obviously this does not
make sense for network play, but when playing locally, why not.


Ciao,

Enrico
