Planetary Annihilation Updated, Now With Saving & Loading

Planetary Annihilation is primarily a multiplayer focused strategy game, but they are making effort to make it nicer for people who play offline, and part of this is the save feature!

Personally, it never bothered me as I always played online matches, but I understand a lot of people don’t like playing online. There’s also people who don’t have time to play an hour long match in one go, and this will enable you to pick up and play again!

QuoteSave/Load (first pass)
-Very first pass on Save/Load now in game in its beta form (there will be some bugs, but we wanted to get this out for players to make use of asap)
--Save/Load now works with AI Free For All skirmish
---Currently it will not remember dynamic alliances
---Currently has issues with alliances ending the game
--Save/Load currently does not function for Galactic War
--Spectating won’t work after you lose a loaded game
--The sim will freeze while saving. This could take shorter or longer depending on amount of stuff being saved
--You can also view save files as a replay
---In the future this will allow you to pick a spot in chronocam and load the game there, though it is not yet functioning
-Next passes will be adding some of the missing functionality from above, including Galactic War and resume from anywhere in a replay.

There’s many other balance changes, and lots of bug fixes. See the full changelog post here. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.
