    I was just five turns from victory with the Ottomans I autosave and go into another save with the  spainish I come back today to find that my spainish save overwrote my outtomans save

    Wouldn't ya think creative assembly would put something in the save feature to prevent something like that from happening

    I think I'm taking a break from that game for a long while that is fucking messed up

    Have they added a way to delete saves without going into the files? Yeah, Empire: Total War has had some problems.

    Wait are you talking about the autosave feature?  That's not a bag, that's how the game works.  If you were talking about the crash bugs or AI glitches then maybe I'd agree with you but I've never heard of anybody having problems with the save game stuff.

    I originally got sick of the path finding, my army would continuously say they can't go some where, when the only thing in the way was.....my own armies.

    A lot of games do that, the autosave just saves whatever turn you were last on, it should never be used as a primary save file.

    They added that in a while back. The most recent patch (1.3) has introduced multi-threading into the game so it should run a lot smoother on computers with more then one CPU core.

    So wait, they have a feature in the game that literally saves FOR YOU and you actually want even more help with saving? What do you want them to do, remind you every 2 minutes to save?

    If you can't even be bothered to save before you quit the game, there's not a whole lot creative assembly can do to help you. I'm surprised you got that far in the game before you had that problem.
