You will probably find that a save every 1 minute is way too often. A save every 10 to 15 minutes would be fine.
War is cruelty. There is no use trying to reform it. The crueler it is, the sooner it will be over.

Autosave does not work in MP, I didn't want to mess up any games by having it run.

I do not understand the connection issues. We did see some of these during our testing, but rarely. The man behind RakNet has put in some new logging for us and when I get a chance I'll run with his logging turned on and he'll help us track these down. I love good customer support! I wish that everyone could host, but it's rarely the case.

Just want to report we (Armchair Generals group) played a full game yesterday with 14 players and no problems. It lasted 70 minutes and ended by surrender.

We'll see what happens in the future, we can't be sure what made it 'just work' that time.
