Another Multiplayer Save Thread

I know this has been talked about quite a lot however looking at #13 from "neutrino," an uber employee back on August 17, 2012 "multiplayer save" was being bumped up in priority. And here we are 2+ years later with no such "key" feature.

Personally I enjoy having several hour long battles with a friend who lives in Cleveland (while I'm in New Mexico) however we both have families and cannot sit down for hours on end to play games and devote that much time to starting a finishing a game. Particularly why we like Civilization and such type games because we can save progress and pick it up later.

Without this feature we can't play like we want to and I know there are others who feel the same way.

[1] Is this still being worked on?
[2] Is there an expected time frame?

It is being worked on, just maybe not now..

It's still happening, surely, it'll be infused in the chronom, and you will be able to swipe to any point in a game.

Anyway it'd be nice if we wouldn't use 2 year old quotes as it's a bit in bad taste.

Well it is in the works but like many other important things they can only do one at a time (2 yrs ikr) personally I think they have other things to worry about like the friends list still being made of a fine pasta but yes in-game save would be very helpful especially for (hopefully) mlg games when a unexpected crash may occur, would help keep the equality of the match.

Yea, I figured. Just wanted a good strong reply from someone on the project. I also didn't mean to disrespect with a 2 year old quote, I searched a lot and that was the newest quote I could find from an employee that it was actually being worked on. Tons of other people saying it was in the works but wanted to hear it from the horses mouth so that I don't get my hopes up if they are going to abandon it.

I also wasn't sure how many updates could be expected now that the "full" version has been released for a while. Wasn't sure if that was their way of washing their hands of the project or not. I don't think so but still worth asking. Don't get me wrong either. I love this game!!! Its awesome. Just hard to play it under my circumstances.

I strongly agree that it would be really helpful to have an official statement about the current state of the save feature. Even if it will take quite some more time until it would be finished, at least there is something you could refer to. Again during the winter sale it quite often popped up in the steam forums. And if you don't play ladder, but some multi planet action alone vs ai or with friends, play times easily can reach up to one hour or more.
