Mod Wish (No idea how hard this would be)

My biggest complaint about Dominions 3 is that it's hard to view the game history. Unless you save each turn, you can't relive your glorious 10-to-1 outnumbered victory, or see the enemy pretender stats from when your scout caught a battle between two other nations, or recall some other minor detail from 10 turns ago that is now crucial, or find out the stats on that thug that decimated you if you forgot to write them down. I wish there was a way to view old board states, or at least read messages from previous turns.

Since most games are PBEM, its not really that big of an issue. Just don't delete the emails, at least till the game's done.

I dont feel thats true.
I think that most games are solo.
And then after that, most of the blitz games are direct-connect and since they finish fairly quickly there is a large number of those compared to the pbem which tend to take longer.

The impression is probably that most games are pbem since most of the threads in the MP section are pbem games. So to someone who mostly plays MP it might seem that way.

But in answer to the OP (original poster) that does tend to be your options Im afraid. Especially since you seem to want basically a complete saving of everything in a turn. There are some utilities created by various people to make it easier to make backup saves. Or in some cases you might be happy with one of the downloadable screen-capture utilities so you can grab a quick screen image of important notable things.

Correction, most games where it might be necessary for detailed notes and where you will get the most epic battles are PBEM. SP it doesn't really matter since the comp can't play for ****. Admittedly, there isn't a good way to do it for blitz games, but you almost never have time to pull out an old turn for analysis in the middle of the game.
