• Multiplayer Gamesave:
  • Saving multiplayer games was one of the most requested features from gamers. Here it is. Each player can save the game by clicking on the computer symbol in the lower left-hand corner of the screen and then on Save. The game will then be saved on the computers of all the players so that if the game is ended before one player emerges victorious, the game can be later initiated by any of the players in the SETTLERS III Lobby.
    If one of the players is not available to continue the game, this player can be replaced by a computer player.
    It isn't possible, however, for a human player to take over from a computer player.
    IMPORTANT:
    You can't load a saved multiplayer game from the "Load Game" button! You'll find your saved game in the same place where you choose other net games from the lobby. Click on "Saved Multiplayer".
    You won't be asked to name the game when you save it. You won't have to choose a save location either. The game will be saved in the directory "Save/Multi".
    A display in the chat line shows all of the players in the game the name of the player who has saved the game. There must be at least a minute's interval between saving games.
    A saved game is initiated just like any other net game. In the lobby, click on "Create Game" and then choose the saved game you want to begin under "Saved Multiplayer". Saved games are listed there. When you click on one of them, the name of the map, the time at which you saved the game and a list of the players in the game will be displayed where you normally see the preview map. Confirm your choice with "OK" and you'll automatically return to the meeting point where you can wait for the other players in the game.
• Automatic Saved Games in the Campaigns
  • When you've completed a map in the campaign, have read the end-of-the-game statistics and have clicked with your mouse, the mission briefing for the next map appears. When you then click on "Return", the program now recognizes that you've completed the previous map and have begun with a new one.
    You can load these saved games from the main menu by clicking on "Load Game". In the menu which then appears on the right, click on "Campaigns". A list will appear in which all of the campaign missions wheich you have begun are listed. Click on the mission which you most recently discontinued.
    All of the missions of the original campaigns have been made available under the assumption that you've already successfully completed them.
• Improved Construction from the Artificial Intelligence
  • The Computer Artificial Intelligence is now more effective at building at the beginning of the game. It can now build up a functioning economy more quickly than before.
