Tuesdays make sense, it being election day and all...

[quote]There is not a way to save a multiplayer game, even if it is LAN.[/quote] That was my suspicion, and I can see why it may be difficult to implement, especially for non-LAN games, but is this something that could be considered for a future patch? For a 21-week game it isn't really necessary, but for the longer game lengths it pretty much necessitates having to play with timed turns. Ah, the eternal struggle of multiplayer on a turn-based-strategy game. :)

I found a couple of multiplayer bugs while setting up a LAN game and don't remember seeing anyone post them, so here's the report: 1) I created a multiplayer game (LAN) as the host using 21 turn length, 100% funding, and snail speed. My girlfriend entered the lobby, and in the listing for the game that I created it showed it as 21 turn length, 50% funding, and snail speed.

After seeing some of the less-than-stellar reviews for TPM2008 pop up on metacritic and read about some of the problems users had been having with the game on these forums, I wanted to take a minute to thank the devs for their hard work on the game and all the time they have spent working with the users on here who are having issues. As a developer myself (although not in the game industry) I can understand how it can seem like the only feedback you get is negative because only

FYI, I was in a Wal-Mart and a Best Buy today and neither of those had the game yet, so it looks like Target is it for now.

I also got it at Target yesterday, at Polaris in Columbus, OH if anyone else is in the area. They only had 1 copy left after I got mine, so hurry! I also checked Gamestop and Meijer and neither of those had it yet.
